Conducting repeated-dose toxicity testing is essential in the health risk assessment process. Currently, evaluating human safety relies heavily on animal studies to identify toxicity endpoints due to the absence of suitable human in vitro cell systems designed for regulatory purposes. However, reliance on animal models exhibiting inter-species variations often results in inaccurate predictions of toxicity in humans, resulting in the late-stage elimination of tested substances. Consequently, the cosmetic industry is actively searching for dependable human cell systems for repeated-dose toxicity assessments. Due to boundless human pluripotent cell’s ability to differentiate and proliferate into diverse cell types, these cells are considered a valuable and cost-effective resource for the development of organotypic cells. These cells are crucial for assessing long-term human organ toxicity. The recent advancements in high-throughput in vitro screening platforms and artificial intelligence present a promising avenue for the development and exploration of human biomarkers for repeated-dose toxicity in cellular in vitro models.
