Swedish researchers have developed innovative 3D bioprinting techniques to create artificial skin with blood vessels, potentially revolutionizing treatment for severe burns and trauma by enabling more functional skin regeneration.
A Japanese study reveals that vitamin C can thicken and rejuvenate skin by reactivating genes involved in cell growth through epigenetic changes, suggesting its potential as a genetic anti-aging treatment for skin.
Japanese scientists discovered that vitamin C can thicken and rejuvenate aging skin by activating genes involved in cell growth through TET enzyme-mediated DNA demethylation, suggesting topical vitamin C could help restore skin strength and youthfulness.
Scientists have developed bioprinted skin that closely resembles natural human skin, with all three layers, using a combination of living cells and specialized hydrogels. In experiments with mice and pigs, the bioprinted skin promoted rapid growth of new blood vessels and improved wound healing with less scarring. While further research and clinical trials are needed, this breakthrough could potentially lead to the development of a treatment that allows people to fully heal from severe burns and other skin injuries.
