Empa researchers are working together with clinical partners on a model of human skin. The model will allow scientists to simulate skin diseases and thus better understand them. The skin is the ...

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 ...

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.

In a world first, researchers have printed multi-layered, living skin directly onto significant injuries in rats for scar-free skin repair. It's not sci-fi – they're genuinely 3D-printing skin (and ...

WTF?! Scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a way to apply skin engineered from biological cells onto a robot's face and keep it adhered to the surface as it "smiles." This could be a ...
