Identifying human genes that respond to cosmetics

Scientists at Lund University (Sweden) have identified 200 genes that are chemically sensitive in humans. This has the ability to completely replace or significantly reduce animal experiments.

Recently, scientists at Lund University (Sweden) have succeeded in finding the type of human cells that respond to cosmetics, replacing the animal test that has long been opposed.

Scientists have identified 200 genes that are chemically sensitive when considering the reaction of white blood cells in humans that respond to chemicals in cosmetics.

"This has the ability to completely replace or significantly reduce animal experiments," the study's author said.

In the United States, animals are always used frequently in studies of toxicity and allergens in cosmetics, detergents and oils. However, this type of test is banned in the European Union in 2009.

Successful research is not only good for animals but also for accurate results.
