Testing of cosmetics and dermatological drugs and compounds before human use is extremely important and part of the modern development of useful and active products. To have better “humanised” products without animal testing the Japanese Nikkol and Nikoderm group reached out to the innovative CTIBIOTECH company who specialise in creating 3-dimensional human tissues in the laboratory. Together CTIBIOTECH and NIKKOL/Nikoderm are creating modern skin-related testing using human cells and artificial skin models.
