Diversity of human skin three-dimensional organotypic cultures
Open accessAbstract
Recently, significant strides have been made in the development of high-fidelity skin organoids, encompassing techniques such as 3D bioprinting, skin-on-a-chip systems, and models derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), replicating appendage structures and diverse skin cell types. Despite the emergence of these state-of-the-art skin engineering models, human organotypic cultures (OTCs), initially proposed in the 1970s, continue to reign as the predominant in vitro cultured three-dimensional skin model in the field of tissue engineering. This enduring prevalence is owed to their cost-effectiveness, straight forward setup, time efficiency, and faithful representation of native human skin. In this review, we systematically delineate recent advances in skin OTC models, aiming to inform future efforts to enhance in vitro skin model fidelity and reproducibility.

TL;DR
This review synthesizes recent advances in human skin organotypic cultures (OTCs), arguing that air–liquid interface OTCs remain the predominant in vitro 3D skin model despite newer organoid, bioprinting, and skin-on-a-chip approaches. It categorizes OTCs into human epidermal equivalents (HEEs), human skin equivalents (HSEs), and advanced human skin equivalents (aHSEs), and highlights single-cell omics, reproducibility challenges, and future directions.
Key findings
- Human OTCs, initially proposed in the 1970s, remain the predominant in vitro cultured 3D skin model because of cost-effectiveness, straightforward setup, time efficiency, and faithful representation of native human skin; skin-related ailments rank as the fourth leading nonfatal disease burden globally, affecting approximately one-third of the population.
- OTC models are categorized by structural complexity: HEEs (keratinocytes only), HSEs (epidermis and dermis, often collagen- or de-epidermized dermis-based), and aHSEs (incorporating endothelial cells, melanocytes, neuronal cells, lymphatic cells, immune cells, adipocytes, pluripotent stem cells, and/or appendages such as hair follicles or sweat glands).
- Single-cell transcriptomics comparing HEEs, HSEs, xenograft HSEs, and in vivo epidermis indicates these systems resemble a fetal-like developmental state similar to PSC-based organoids; they contain all cellular states of their in vivo counterpart but may exhibit defects in basal and terminal differentiation depending on culture, and in vitro models show cellular stress.
- hPSC-derived skin organoids can recapitulate stratified epidermis, fat-rich dermis, and pigmented hair follicles with sebaceous glands; WNT activation produces larger organoids without off-target cartilage differentiation, and hybrid PSC-derived organoid plus ALI culture can recapitulate multiple appendage structures and more adult-like skin.
Methods
- Narrative review and synthesis of existing literature on human skin OTC models, with no primary experimental data reported.
- Discusses model types and related technologies including HEEs, HSEs, aHSEs, skin spheroids, PSC-derived skin organoids, 3D bioprinting, and skin-on-a-chip systems, focusing on ALI-based OTCs.
- Draws on cited single-cell omics studies, especially scRNA-seq, and other phenotypic/functional studies to assess model fidelity, applications, and reproducibility.
Limitations
- The paper states that reproducibility is challenged by the absence of uniform standardized protocols, leading to variation in culture medium, ALI duration, fibroblast presence, cell seeding density, and passage number, which complicates cross-study comparison; which cell source provides the highest fidelity remains unclear.
- The paper states that full-thickness HSE models lack vasculature, appendages, and an immune system, complicating simulation of systemic inflammation and appendage-associated pathogenesis; aHSE models are more time-consuming, complex, and costly, especially when using human or PSC-derived cells.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, no systematic search strategy or quantitative synthesis is described, and single-cell research on in vitro skin models is described as relatively sparse and still in its early stages.

HEE models offer dependable substitutes for in vitro permeation testing studies.
“For instance, the HEE models offer dependable substitutes for in vitro permeation testing studies, a domain historically plagued by the unpredictable availability and exorbitant cost associated with excised human skin [26].”

The Introduction (§2) says the tested alternative models differ greatly in their ability to model permeation through excised human skin. The Discussion (§5) concludes that alternative models require continued improvement before they can predict permeation across human skin, contrary to calling them dependable substitutes. The paper does support the separate point that excised human skin has limited availability and high cost. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-22.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-22.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
