Abstract
Previous studies have reported that well-defined culture conditions can improve keratinocytes terminal differentiation and reproducibility. The aim of our study was to compare skin substitutes cultured in a complete medium with those cultured in a serum-free medium at the air-liquid interface to optimize the self-assembly method. Skin substitutes, cultured in a serum-free medium over 7, 14, and 21 days, were compared with others cultured in a complete medium (5% serum) over the complete culture period. Masson's Trichrome staining showed that the substitutes cultured in a serum-free medium generated a well-developed and differentiated epidermis. Immunolabeling analyses between the substitutes cultured without serum and those cultured in complete serum showed similar expression of epidermal differentiation markers, dermo-epidermal junction, and dermal extracellular matrix components. On the basis of our Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) results, the skin substitutes cultured in serum-free condition over 21 days of culture at the air-liquid interface showed lower frequencies of the CH(2) symmetric mode of vibrations, which means a better lipid organization of the stratum corneum. No significant difference in hydrocortisone penetration was observed between serum-free medium substitutes and the controls. Results demonstrate that the absence of serum does not compromise the characteristics of the skin substitutes observed in this study.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
