Impact Statement:
This article describes a method for the biofabrication of skin tissue equivalents in a multiwell plate format. The technique and results overcome shortcomings of previously published engineering methods, and show good architecture and barrier function from well to well; thus it may be used for compound functional testing and for the development of disease tissue models for screening.
