There is an increasing demand for skin. Manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics and medical engineering products need it in order to test the compatibility of their products with human skin.

Skin from a factory – this has long been the dream of pharmacologists, chemists and doctors. (source: fraunhofer.de)
