Engineers have created an electronic 'skin' in an effort to restore a real sense of touch for amputees using prosthetics. Amputees often experience the sensation of a "phantom limb" -- a feeling that ...

In conclusion, the lineage hierarchies we have described reveal the cellular origins of the heterogeneous architecture of the dermis and provide a mechanistic basis for understanding the changes that ...

Amputees often experience the sensation of a "phantom limb"—a feeling that a missing body part is still there. That sensory illusion is closer to becoming a reality thanks to a team of engineers at ...

Researchers have created what could be called "skin in a syringe". The gel containing live cells can be 3D printed into a skin transplant, as shown in a study conducted on mice. This technology may ...

The dermis is the layer of skin that lies beneath the epidermis and above the subcutaneous layer. It is the thickest layer of the skin, and is made up of fibrous and elastic tissue. Thus it provides ...

Your skin includes three layers known as epidermis, dermis, and fat. Some health issues, such as dermatitis and infections, can affect how these different layers work to protect your internal organs.
