Reconstructed Human Skin with Hypodermis Shows Essential Role of Adipose Tissue in Skin Metabolism
Conclusions:Adipose-RhS mimics healthy native human skin more closely than traditional RhS since it has a less inflamed phenotype and a higher metabolic activity, indicating the contribution of adipocytes to tissue homeostasis. Therefore it is better suited to study onset of skin diseases and the effect of xenobiotics. (Source: Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine)
