January 2021 in “Experimental Dermatology” This review discusses recent advancements in generating appendage-bearing skin organoids from pluripotent stem cells and their potential applications in dermatological research, but reports no new clinical results.
July 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The new skin organoid system effectively mimics human skin for studying its functions, injuries, and diseases.
January 2024 in “Journal of tissue engineering” In this study, researchers used a human skin organoid model to show that solar UV exposure damages hair follicles and skin, while exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells reduced inflammation and supported hair follicle regeneration.
January 2026 in “Wound Repair and Regeneration” This review summarizes the latest progress and challenges in skin organoid research, emphasizing advancements in organoid construction, applications in disease modeling, and factors affecting tissue maturation, while noting barriers such as vascularization and neural integration that hinder clinical translation.
December 2025 in “Nature Communications” This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.
