Anti-pollution effects can be assessed through the quantification of multiple biomarkers directly associated with the skin response to pollution, such as:
Activation of detoxification and antioxidative pathways
Inflammation
Barrier function
In support of the functional studies, or as a screening tool, StratiCELL has also developed a TaqMan Low Density qPCR Array to study simultaneously 96 target genes of the multiple pathways involved in cell and tissue response against pollution.
