Prenatal human skin atlas and organoid will accelerate research into congenital diseases and lead to clinical applications for regenerative medicine.

Researchers have for the first time created a single "cell atlas" of prenatal human skin to understand how skin forms.

For the first time ever, scientists have charted the complex prenatal development of human skin, providing previously unobserved perspectives on skin morphology. A team of researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Newcastle University has created a comprehensive single-cell atlas of human skin before birth.
