Oily skin is one of the most common dermatologic concerns. It is due to an excessive sebum production, called hyperseborrhea. Sebum is produced by differentiated sebocytes.
Our models
Sebocytes derived from human iPSC
3 phototypes: Causasian, Asian, African
Our tests
Sebocyte differentiation
immunofluorescence (Keratin 7, mucin 1) and quantification by RT-qPCR of key genes
Lipid production & accumulation
stimulating factors (testosterone, arachidic acid, linoleic acid), quantification of lipid storage (Nile Red staining)
