They observed the structure of pressure receptors called Merkel disks at the dermal-epidermal interface of human skin; these pressure receptors play a significant role in touch sensitivity. They noted ...

ROCHESTER — Among all of the things skin, the body's largest organ, is good at, it's particularly great at regrowing itself. "The skin turns over every 30 days," said Dr. Saranya Wyles, a ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

Human skin transmits sensory information as electrical pulses, or spikes, that encode signals related to pressure and pain. NRE-skin mimics this biological process by converting pressure ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived skin organoids (SKOs) generate sweat and sebaceous glands when differentiated using air-liquid interface conditions. a) Representative bright-field ...

Vitamin C has long been sold as a shortcut to a brighter complexion, but the latest research suggests it is doing something far more fundamental than adding a temporary glow. When you get enough of ...

(LOS ANGELES) – From wide-ranging body movements as minute as a pulse to the various movements of joints, muscles and limbs, wearable pressure sensors placed directly on the skin may be used in myriad ...
