Tissue engineering is a set of methods that can replace or repair damaged or diseased tissues with natural, synthetic ... human skin model with a hypodermis layer, offering an in vitro tool ...

The mechanisms underlying skin renewal are still poorly understood. Interleukin-38 (IL-38), a protein involved in regulating inflammatory responses, could be a game changer. A team has observed it for ...

To better understand why some cancer patients struggle to fight off infections, Georgia Tech researchers have created tiny ...

Oct. 28, 2024 — Thin, stretchy skin -- like that of a pig or human -- significantly lessens the underlying damage that occurs when it's punctured. Pig skin even outperforms synthetic materials ...

Here we evaluated the potential of vascularised in vitro human skin equivalents as a novel model of skin fibrosis and a platform for the evaluation of antifibrotic drugs. Methods Skin equivalents were ...

RNA vaccines saved lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, but older people had less of an immune response to the vaccines than ...

Why? Boston Children’s researchers, led by Byron Brook, PhD, and Ofer Levy, MD, PhD, have found some answers, while providing proof-of-concept of a new system that can model vaccine responses in ...

Cell density is a broadly applicable tool for guiding engineered and naturally occurring cells to build a vast array of structures, tissues, and organs.

Researchers compared the puncture resistance of pig skin with synthetic materials and found that natural skin outperformed synthetic options, showcasing its unique biomechanical properties. The ...

Pig skin even outperforms synthetic materials that are designed to mimic skin, a new study finds. Its special qualities, in particular its ability to dissipate the energy of a puncturing object ...
