At TU Wien, researchers are developing three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques that can be used to create living biological tissue—for example, to study skin diseases.

Human skin harbors a wide range of microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses. In fact, recent estimates indicate that over 10 11 microbial cells could be present on skin surfaces.

The study has been published in Science Signaling and looks at what actually happens when a cell turns into a cancer cell. We have been studying one of the cells' signalling pathways, the so-called ...

Scientists have used mathematical and computer modeling to demonstrate the impact of skin homeostasis on driver and passenger mutations. All normal human tissues acquire mutations over time. Some of ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa (UI) Health Care and colleagues at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute, and Boston University, used human skin explants to track the cellular route that the ...

A 7-year-old boy is breaking barriers for those with skin pigment conditions. Samuel Silva, from Bahia, Brazil, was born with piebaldism, a rare genetic condition that results in sections of his skin ...

From vampire legends to lab-grown tissue, the idea that young blood can reverse aging is no longer pure myth. A new study shows that proteins secreted by bone marrow cells, triggered by young blood, ...
