3D Approaches to Culturing Bovine Skin: Explant Culture versus Organotypic Skin Model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionDigital dermatitis (DD) in cattle appears with high prevalence; nevertheless, the knowledge on its pathogenesis is still limited. In this context, in vitro skin models represent a valuable tool to facilitate the study of DD.
methodsTwo in vitro skin models were established using bovine distal limb skin: a skin explant model and an organotypic skin model. For the skin explant model, skin samples were cultured with an air-liquid interface for up to 7 days. Besides routine histopathological examination, readout parameters were Ki-67 and cleaved Caspase-3 stainings. For the organotypic model, primary keratinocytes were layered on top of a dermal equivalent containing mainly mitotically inactive fibroblasts and maintained for up to 21 days. At regular intervals (days 7, 14, and 21), cultured skin samples were taken for (immuno)histological analysis.
resultsBoth cultures could be maintained for the entire duration of the intended culture period. In the histopathological assessment, explant skin cultures showed ballooning degeneration of keratinocytes and segmental necrosis starting at day 5 of culturing. Initially, basal keratinocytes in the organotypic model differentiated as demonstrated by positive Keratin 14, Desmoglein-1, Loricrin, and Involucrin immunofluorescent stainings. Ki-67 was observed occasionally and suprabasally still after 21 days of culture.
conclusionBoth in vitro models proved dependable and constitute a viable option for replacing experiments on live animals, each with its own benefits. Whereas skin explants include all cell types available in vivo and can therefore reflect realistic cell-cell interactions and signaling pathways, the organotypic model offers a higher standardization and reproducibility. Depending on the focus of future studies, both models can be used for specific experimental purposes of bovine dermatological research in general or specialized questions concerning (infectious) claw diseases as, e.g., DD.
