    laboratory-created systems mimicking human skin for research purposes

    Skin models are laboratory-created systems that mimic the structure and function of human skin. These models are used for research and testing purposes, such as studying skin diseases, testing cosmetics, and understanding wound healing, without the need for human or animal subjects. They can be made from biological materials or engineered tissues, providing a controlled environment to observe skin behavior and responses.
