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, ...

Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Although less common, it is the most serious due to its high potential ...

peptides help promote the activity of fibroblasts—the cells responsible for creating collagen and maintaining skin structure. "These are chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules to ...

In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like structures called chromosomes. The nucleus of one of your skin cells contains about two metres of DNA ...

Bioengineered skin that mimics real human tissue offers a cruelty-free, accurate alternative to animal-based toxicity testing. 3D printing technology is used to create lifelike skin with living human ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printable material that mimics the three-layer structure and mechanics of human skin. When printed with living cells, these skins could replace animals in the testing ...

When combined with clinically validated growth factor serums, microchanneling can enhance skin rejuvenation, effectively ...
