Fully functioning human skin grown in lab, complete with vessels and pigmentation
SMRTR summary
University of Queensland researchers have grown fully functioning human skin in a laboratory, including blood vessels, hair follicles, multiple tissue layers, pigmentation, and immune cells. Created by reprogramming skin cells into stem cells and growing them into "skin organoids," this breakthrough promises advances in skin grafts, wound healing, and treatments for chronic skin disorders. The innovation allows scientists to study skin diseases more accurately and develop more effective therapies.
