Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Toxicology
  • Biotechnology and Bioengineering

Background:

  • Increasing regulatory restrictions on animal testing necessitate alternatives.
  • Conventional animal and 2D cell culture models inadequately predict human skin responses.
  • Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed human skin, ex vivo platforms, and bioengineered systems are vital for research and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review commercially available and emerging in vitro human skin models.
  • To discuss applications in dermatological research, cosmetic safety, and pharmaceutical development.
  • To highlight limitations and future directions for advanced skin model development and translation.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of reconstructed human epidermis and full-thickness skin equivalents.
  • Inclusion of functional variants (pigmentation, microbiome) and ex vivo models from surgical tissues.
  • Discussion of cutting-edge platforms: vascularized, immune-competent, organoid-based, and microbiome-integrated models.

Main Results:

  • Commercial and emerging in vitro human skin models offer diverse functionalities.
  • Advanced models include pigmentation, microbiome, vascularization, and immune components.
  • These models aim to bridge the gap between in vitro data and clinical outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced human skin models are essential for predictive, ethical, and mechanistically informative testing.
  • Standardization, scalability, and clinical translation are key future directions.
  • These models will significantly enhance dermatological research and development.
