ABSTRACT:
Described is a multicellular model including at least, as cell type:keratinocytes,melanocytes, andnerve cells,in which the keratinocytes and the melanocytes form a first cell layer, and the nerve cells form a second cell layer devoid of physical contact with the first cell layer, with the first and second cell layers being arranged so as to be compatible with a manifestation of at least one cellular chemical exchange.
