    Glossary Skin Organoids

    miniature lab-grown skin tissues mimicking real skin functions

    Skin organoids are miniature, simplified versions of skin tissue that are grown in a lab from stem cells. They mimic the structure and function of real skin, including the development of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, making them valuable for studying skin diseases, testing drugs, and potentially for regenerative medicine.
