Original Source: Keratinocytes drive melanoma invasion in a reconstructed skin model.
Melanoma progression is a multistep progression from a common melanocytic nevus through the radial growth phase, the invasive vertical growth phase finally leading to metastatic spread into distant organs. Migration and invasion of tumor cells requires secretion of proteases to facilitate remodeling of the extracellular matrix including basement membranes. Here we used a reconstructed skin model to investigate melanoma growth and invasion in vitro. Using this model we show that the dermoepidermal basement m...

Three-dimensional skin models as tools for transdermal drug delivery: challenges and limitations.
Introduction: Transdermal drug delivery has several known advantages over the oral route and hypodermic injections. The number of drugs that can be taken up transdermally is, however, limited owing to...
PURPOSE: Autologous skin substitutes to cover large skin defects are used since several years. Melanocytes, although essential for solar protection and pigmentation of skin, are not yet systematically...
To study the biological properties of dermal fibroblast sub-populations, we used a reconstructed skin model with a dermal compartment populated with either papillary or reticular fibroblasts. The hist...
