Human skin models are essential for studying barrier biology, dermatotoxicology, and responses to environmental stressors, but many in vitro systems require trade-offs between physiological relevance, workflow complexity, and scalability. Advances in three-dimensional (3D) cell culture are enabling the development of more physiologically relevant skin models that support mechanistic studies and early-stage screening applications.
In this webinar, brought to you by Lonza and Entropic Biosciences, Koh Meng Aw Yong and Amir Nasajpour will discuss a primary cell-based, self-organizing 3D human skin organoid model generated using adult epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. The session will examine approaches for assessing skin barrier formation, structural maturation, long-term viability, and ultraviolet (UV) injury responses, while exploring how a scalable 96-well workflow can support skin biology research, environmental insult testing, and translational in vitro studies.
Topics to be covered
- Generation of primary cell-based 3D human skin organoids
- Assessing skin barrier formation and structural maturation
- UV and chemical injury responses
- Applications of scalable 3D skin models in translational research
- Human-relevant approaches for skin biology and toxicology studies
