Abstract
Organoids have emerged as transformative tools in biomedical research, renowned for their ability to replicate the complexity construct of human tissues. Skin aging is a multifaceted biological process, influenced by both intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. Traditional models for studying skin aging often fall short in capturing the intricate dynamics of human skin. In contrast, skin organoids offer a more physiologically relevant system, reflecting the structural and functional characteristics of native skin. These characteristics make skin organoids highly suitable for studying the mechanisms of skin aging, identifying novel therapeutic targets, and testing anti-aging interventions. Despite their promise, challenges such as limited scalability, reproducibility, and ethical considerations remain. Addressing these hurdles through interdisciplinary research and technological advancements will be essential to maximizing the potential of skin organoids for dermatological research and personalized anti-aging therapies.

期刊介绍:
Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on biogenic substances and their biological functions, structures, interactions with other molecules, and their microenvironment as well as biological systems. Biomolecules publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
