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 ...

BioTac Artificial Skin Technology is sure to be a storm with Robotics Designers. Giving them the opportunity to add a third sense to there robotic marvels. Now they can have the sense of touch to ...

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 ...

Scientists, surgeons, and so-called bioengineers are working overtime to develop artificial organs, grow skin and other body parts in the laboratory, and even propagate whole, living organs ...

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 ...
