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 ...

To address the issue, the researchers developed a 3D-printed skin model that closely replicates the native three-layer tissue structure and function of human skin, using hydrogel formulations ...

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, ...

The starting point for stable and 3D-printable structures are hydrogel formulations developed ... "In the next step, the 3D-printed models (skin imitations) will be used to test nanoparticles," says ...

When skin becomes damaged—from things like wounds, burns, or diseases—it can be very dangerous. But researchers in ...

Magnetic composite with stiffness control allows programmable 3D shape shifting for use in soft robots, tactile interfaces, and reconfigurable displays.

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 ...

The first skin models are now ready for nanoparticle testing ... The starting point for stable and 3D-printable structures are hydrogel formulations developed at TU Graz. Hydrogels are characterised ...
