IF Artificial Skin
Stratify skin equivalents into dermis and epidermis, segment the stratum corneum, high/low suprabasal and basal layers, and quantify staining intensity, area, nuclei, and number/% of marker-positive cells for each layer.

The IF Artificial Skin App stratifies skin equivalents into differnet layers including dermis and epidermis and identifies nuclei based on appropriate staining. Further is subclassifies epidermis into stratum corneum, high suprabasal, low suprabasal, basal. The App outputs, area (µm2) of epidemis and dermis, area and mean staining intensity for each sublayer of the epidermis, total number of nuclei for each layer/sublayer and number/% of marker positive cells for each layser and sublayer.
