Timely intervention of preventative and therapeutic measures abated a 2022 mpox global outbreak. However, the high transmissibility and unique pathological characteristics of mpox demand further investigation. Here, we discuss the potentials of human skin-on-a-chip as a valuable model for mpox disease evaluation, to achieve in-depth physiological understanding and desirable therapeutic predictive capabilities.
