Engineered skin imitations containing living human cells have shown promising results in early testing, which paves the way for eliminating animal use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical testing.

Brazilian researchers have used three-dimensional (3D) printing to develop an artificial skin model with properties that are more similar to those of human skin. The structure, called Human Skin ...

For the first time, researchers have created a single cell atlas of prenatal human skin to understand how skin forms, and what goes wrong in disease. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute ...

Prenatal human skin atlas and organoid will accelerate research into congenital diseases and lead to clinical applications for regenerative medicine. For the first time, researchers have created a ...

Our recent research shows that it’s possible for PFAS to penetrate human skin and reach our bloodstream. Our new study shows that dermal exposure – absorption of PFAS through the skin ...

A team of scientists unveiled a robot face covered with a delicate layer of living skin that heals itself and crinkles into a smile in hopes of developing more human-like cyborgs. The skin was ...

As detailed in a study published on June 25 in Cell Reports Physical Science, engineers at the University of Tokyo have developed a method to adhere bioengineered skin grown from human cells onto ...

A smiling face made from living human skin could one day be attached to a humanoid robot, allowing machines to emote and communicate in a more life-like way, say researchers. Its wrinkles could ...

adopts a skin-like multilayer construction. Using microfabrication techniques, the team engineered a flexible device—roughly the size of the tip of a human thumb—that can sense different types of ...

A new study used 3D human skin-equivalent models to examine how flame retardant additives in microplastics are absorbed by the skin. The findings demonstrate that several flame-retardant additives ...

But at this year’s event in early April, some browsers may have been unprepared for a small, grayish item on view: a book bound in human skin. The book, which measures about 3 by 5 inches ...

Harvard University has removed human skin from the binding of a 19th-century text because it was taken without consent from a deceased woman. Harvard Library announced this month that it had ...
