D bioprinting uses living cells as "ink" to create functional tissues. Discover how this technology is transforming medicine and what challenges lie ahead.

The skin is made from a single hydrogel that is capable of detecting touch, pressure, heat, cold, and damage in a way that more closely resembles human skin.

Scientists have created a human skin map which provides a “recipe” to build skin. The findings could be used to create new hair follicles, and skin transplants for burn victims, researchers say. The study uncovered how human skin is formed.

Our ancient ancestors didn’t have clothes or houses – but that constant exposure to the sun helped their skin protect itself from the worst sun damage.

Paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi reveals our incredible story across 300,000 years of human evolution in the upcoming new five-part series

University of Oregon researchers have uncovered a molecule produced by yeast living on human skin that showed potent antimicrobial properties against a pathogen responsible for a half-million ...

Interestingly, the new analysis also revealed stark gender differences in melanoma locations, meaning men and women may develop skin cancer in different parts of the bodies.

But human skin is really acidic," explained first study author Caitlin Kowalski, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oregon. Kowalski noted that Malassezia yeast often dominates the human skin microbiome. And though it has been associated with dandruff and eczema, it's usually a harmless part of the skin microbiome.

Parts of the body most likely to be susceptible to skin cancer vary between men and women, new research has found, as cases of the deadly disease are expected to skyrocket this year.
