Sebocytes are emerging cellular models to study skin biology but also to design new compounds to regulate acne, seborrhoea and other sebaceous gland-related diseases. Easy access to cryopreserved and well-qualified

Sebocytes belong to the epidermal ecosystem together with hair follicules or in sebaceous glands. Sebocytes play a key role in skin health by producing sebum. These cells are now at the center of researchers'

Measuring soluble collagen in biological samples is a straightforward experiment which can be done with the Sircol

During the last International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) congress (Paris, Oct. 2014), Hajem N. et al (ALES Groupe) have shown that by enhancing MDR activity of fibroblasts

Glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) are long un-branched polysaccherides which consist of disaccharide repeats. The repeats usually (with the exception of Keratan sulfate) consist of on

Apolipoproteins, with amphipathic properties, form lipoprotein particles with phospholipids and transport hydrophobic lipids through lymphatic

Lipodystrophies are disorders characterized by complete or selective loss of adipose tissue from various regions of the body. They might lead to severe metabolic disorders. The development of reliable

Recently I reported about methods to measure:

• Collagen - Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays
• Glycosaminoglycans - How to measure Glycosaminoglycans

A recent review by Nadim et al. casts some light on a Cosmetology and Dermatology, where circulating biomarkers, though studied to a certain extent so far, are yet unknown for many skin models.

Matrix components are key R&D elements in pharmaceutical and cosmetology with tremendous impacts on tissue regeneration, skin repair,

Microbial metabolites are a source of unequalled elements for in vitro assays. Sometimes  neglected, these active molecules naturally provide a large spectrum of structural diversity for Drug

Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but unlike other GAGs like Heparan sulfate
