Development of skin-humanized mouse model for psoriasis

The objective of my research is to generate self-assembled artificial skin and humanized mouse model for study of various skin diseases. The artificial skin is made using human derived skin cells, which are then grafted to mice. This humanized mouse model is most similar to the environment in the human body, and the self-assembled artificial skin implantation can give benefit to overcome the differences between human and mice. For that reason it is useful for researching various skin diseases greatly.
My project generating artificial skin and humanized mouse model for skin disease is considered to have significant academic values, because so far, there is no humanized mouse model representing psoriasis, one of the skin immune diseases. Moreover, there is no case in Korea for self-assembled artificial skin production. TO BE CONT’D
