We found ways to guide our inner ear organoids to become purely skin tissue. 1 Our skin organoids have both the epidermis and dermis, and together those layers form hair follicles, sebaceous glands, ...

The skin cells can be embedded in the hydrogel matrix in specific patterns and not at random," says Kongchang Wei, group leader of the joint research group Tissue-Regenerative Soft Materials. "3D ...

The lab-grown skin has been attached to a simple, tiny robot face that is capable of smiling — and the tissue can heal itself. “The skin can repair itself if damaged, similar to how human skin ...

Unlike chemical-based materials used to make skin, the living skin can self-heal, which Takeuchi said was a big deal. Other methods to bind skin tissue to solid structures come with limitations ...
