Successful Christmas business: retailers in the Kassel district take stock!

In the Kassel district, retailers are pleased about a positive outcome in this year's Christmas business. Shops are open on Christmas Eve and many customers take the opportunity to get the last of the presents. According to a report by HNA.de Christmas business is crucial for many shop owners and they are very satisfied with the sales.: Julia Hansmann, owner of a sports shop in Baunatal, noticed good sales of winter clothing and sporting goods, even if the snow situation was disappointing. Your confidence in the winter season remains unbroken.

Ulrich Kellner, owner of a department store in Oberkaufungen, reported a lively shopping mood and committed employees. “Employees have postponed days off so that we are well staffed,” explained Kellner. Board games are particularly in demand, while customers generally want to do something good for themselves, despite economic uncertainty. Katharina Engelhardt from the Büchereck in Vellmar also noted positive sales figures, pointing out bestsellers such as “Aging” by Elke Heidenreich – a popular gift for the holidays.

Advances in skin research

Against the background of these positive sales figures, scientific research into skin equivalents is also advancing. An innovative study based on PubMed published shows the development of a vascularized skin equivalent that mimics human skin. These skin equivalents, composed of a biological scaffold and human cells, represent a significant advance in wound healing and potentially offer an alternative to animal testing. With the newly created blood circulation, clinical application in skin transplantation is within reach, raising great hopes for dermatology.
