title = "Pigmented Full-Thickness Human Skin Model Based on a Fibroblast-Derived Matrix for Long-Term Studies",
abstract = "The developed fully human full-thickness skin model has the potential to reduce the dependence on animal models for long-term studies of skin diseases and safety and efficacy assessment of novel drugs. Its longevity and robustness allow the experimental testing phase to be lengthened. The presence of active melanocytes at the dermal-epidermal junction makes this model the ideal platform to study skin pigmentation disorders. ",
