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 ...

They observed the structure of pressure receptors called Merkel disks at the dermal-epidermal interface of human skin; these pressure receptors play a significant role in touch sensitivity. They noted ...

ROCHESTER — Among all of the things skin, the body's largest organ, is good at, it's particularly great at regrowing itself. "The skin turns over every 30 days," said Dr. Saranya Wyles, a ...

Researchers in Japan are exploring a future where the body itself becomes a health monitor, no screens or batteries required.

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

A team of mechanical engineers from University College Dublin has analysed the mechanical properties of skin removed from cadavers to settle a debate that has perplexed anatomists for 150 years.

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

Vitamin C has long been sold as a shortcut to a brighter complexion, but the latest research suggests it is doing something far more fundamental than adding a temporary glow. When you get enough of ...
