Research data suggests the impact of novel functional supplements comprising collagen peptides, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Here, using a novel, physiologically relevant cell culture model ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the complex network of proteins and sugars that provides structural and biochemical support for surrounding cells in the human body. This dynamic ...

Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues, which can serve as living three-dimensional models of human skin for better ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

Empa researchers are working together with clinical partners on a model of human skin. The model will allow scientists to simulate skin diseases and thus better understand them. The skin is the ...
