However, most 3D human skin equivalents lack melanocytes, limiting their relevance for pigmentation studies. To address this, we utilized a pigmented human epidermal equivalent (PmtHEE) that incorporates melanocytes into the epidermis. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we characterized PmtHEE and compared it with neonatal foreskin epidermis (FsEpi) and a fibroblast-containing human skin equivalent model (FibHSE).</description><dates><publication>2026/05/27</publication></dates><accession>GSE298681</accession><cross_references><GSM>GSM9020703</GSM><GPL>34281</GPL><GSE>298681</GSE><taxon>Homo sapiens</taxon></cross_references></HashMap>
