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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at Pennsylvania State University claim to have become the first to 3D print living human skin tissue onto open wounds on rats. The researchers are hoping the work could lead to new ...

Fat tissue holds the key to 3D printing layered living skin and potentially hair follicles, according to researchers who recently harnessed fat cells and supporting structures from clinically procured ...

The top layer - the epidermis that serves as visible skin - forms with support from the middle layer on its own, so it doesn't require printing. The hypodermis, made of connective tissue and fat, ...

Miji Yeo, a postdoctoral researcher at Penn State, checks the bioink cartridges on a 3D printer developed to intraoperatively print layers of skin. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Fat tissue holds the key to ...
