Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, ...

When skin becomes damaged—from things like wounds, burns, or diseases—it can be very dangerous. But researchers in ...

We see this as the first step towards using plastic materials for artificial skin on prosthetic limbs.” Bao and her colleagues demonstrated that the sensors could relay pressure signals to the ...

Their proposed solution: artificial “skin” made of 3D-printed hydrogel layers held together by living human cells. Though still in the early stages of development, the researchers believe this ...

A research team has developed an electronic skin that detects and precisely tracks magnetic fields with a single global sensor. This artificial skin is not only light, transparent and permeable ...

Rather, researchers from Empa's Laboratory for Biomimetic Membranes and Textiles and its Laboratory for Biointerfaces aim to produce a living “artificial skin” that contains cells and emulates ...

Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues, which can serve as living three-dimensional models of human skin for better ...
