Innovative research into medicinal plants

In collaboration with WALA, the Translational Center at Fraunhofer ISC is developing a novel conjunctival model that enables the precise analysis of inflammatory processes on the surface of the eye. Robust and scalable test systems allow active ingredients and complex drugs to be investigated under controlled but application-relevant conditions.

Sustainable biogenic materials

Silicic acids, which are found in rice and bamboo, are important for our lives because they have a biostimulating effect on the body and the environment. At Fraunhofer ISC, sustainable, biodegradable materials are being developed from silicic acid that accelerate the body's regeneration and promote health. Dr. Bastian Christ will be glad to tell you more about the sustainable synthesis of biodegradable materials for life science applications!

 

Reliable availability of epiCS® epidermis models

The Fraunhofer Translation Center for Regenerative Therapies (TLC-RT) is taking over epiCS® technology from Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, ensuring the availability of internationally standardized epidermis models. These OECD-validated tissue models offer a reliable alternative for evaluating skin reactions to chemical substances and contribute to the safety of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

 

Project "KITAMAKI"

Cancer Immunotherapy through Local T-Cell Activation

The "KITAMAKI" project develops innovative approaches for treating skin metastases in breast cancer through local T-cell activation using monoclonal antibodies on biocompatible RENACER®-fibers. This also provides effective treatment options for other cancers, such as malignant melanoma. Follow­ing validation, a drug prototype will be ready, offering a cost-effective and safe therapeutic option.
