The trade-off of this hardy external layer is that it doesn't expand; it remains relatively inflexible and constricts the ...

Karl Koehler builds inner ear and skin organoids from human stem cells to model their development in health and disease.

Scientists have developed a 3D-printed imitation of human skin with living cells, an advance they say could enable cosmetic testing without the use of animals.

Since the EU banned animal testing for cosmetics and their ingredients, researchers have been developing 3-D printed skin as ...

Austrian and Indian researchers have created a new 3D printed skin which they hope will be able to replace animal testing.
