Study Overview
Epidermal keratinocytes are located on the outermost layer of skin and protect it from dryness and UV rays. Damage to epidermal keratinocytes due to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, oxidation, and other stresses can lead to a variety of skin disorders, making them extremely important cells from a cosmetic perspective.
This study will examine the cell activation and stress protection/avoidance effects of test substances using epidermal keratinocytes, with the aim of verifying and discovering new functional substances that protect the skin from UV, oxidation, and other stresses.
Study example
