Our skin is host to a thriving community of bacteria, some of which help to restore and protect our epidermis. The hunt is ...

have managed to generate skin organoids by directing the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells in a 3D culture system. Because the cells that form the main layers of skin (epidermis and ...

The hypodermis is one of the three layers of human skin, the others being the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (middle layer). Together, these layers provide a barrier against fluids ...

A groundbreaking study has unveiled how the Ebola virus can traverse through layers of human skin, potentially facilitating direct transmission through touch. This highlights critical cellular targets ...

A second skin model has been used to study healing after laser resurfacing. It is constructed from layers of human fibroblasts, the primary cell type in connective tissue, and keratinocytes 2.

Researchers, for example, have created the equivalent of an ink-jet “printer’’ that uses tubes of cells instead of an ink cartridge to create thin layers of human skin. In time, the ...

Ebola is generally known to spread through contact with bodily fluids from individuals who have the infection.

Study findings spotlight a highly potent source of Ebola virus shedding with the potential for person-to-person transmission.
