"Advancements in 3D Bioprinting: Creating Realistic Skin for Wound Healing and Hair Restoration"

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed a breakthrough technique using 3-D printing to create a super-realistic equivalent of human skin, which is being used by L'Oréal to test cosmetics and skin care products. The artificial skin, created in just 18 days, is the first known case of replicating quality skin tissue at full thickness, using different kinds of cells separated by a membrane. The researchers aim to explore other potential uses, such as healing diabetic foot ulcers and creating skin grafts for burn patients.
