Abstrakt: | Skin diseases affect nearly one third of the world's population. Disease types range from oncologic to inflammatory, and outcomes can be as severe as death and disfigurement. Although many skin diseases have been modeled in murine models, the advantages of zebrafish models have led to recent increasing use in modeling human disease. Their rapid development, comparable skin architecture, tractable genetics, unparalleled optical properties, and straightforward drug screens make them an excellent model to study skin disease. In this review, we discuss the attributes of the zebrafish model system as well as current zebrafish models for dermatologic diseases, including melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, vitiligo, epidermal bullosa, psoriasis, and wounding.
