SkinEthic Human Corneal Epithelium HCE
Name

SkinEthicTM HCE / Human Corneal Epithelium

Description

The SkinEthicTM HCE model is composed of transformed human corneal keratinocytes cultivated on an inert polycarbonate filter at the air liquid interface in a chemically defined medium. The reconstructed tissue forms a stratified and well organized epithelium which is structurally, morphologically and functionnally similar to the  human cornea with presence of basal, wing and mucus production cells.

Description

Cell Migration Models (CMM) are epidermal models on an innovative insert.

 

Epidermal or mucosal reconstructed on this insert are histologically similar to in vivo human epidermis and mucosa.
