Spontaneous Cell Sorting of Fibroblasts and Keratinocytes Creates an Organotypic Human Skin Equivalent

Abstract excerpt

We show that an inherent ability of two distinct cell types, keratinocytes and fibroblasts, can be relied upon to accurately reconstitute full-thickness human skin including the dermal-epidermal junction by a cell-sorting mechanism. A cell slurry containing both cell types added to silicone chambers implanted on the backs of severe combined immunodeficient mice sorts out to reconstitute a clearly defined dermis...
