Scientists Create Artificial Human Skin With Biomechanical PropertiesGranada, Spain (SPX) Apr 29, 2010 Scientists from the University of Granada, Spain, have generated artificial human skin by tissular engineering basing on agarose-fibrin biomaterial. The artificial skin was grafted onto mice, and optimal development, maturation and functionality results were obtained. This pioneering finding will allow the clinical use of human skin and its use in many laboratory tests on biological tissues -which, additionally, would avoid the use of laboratory animals. Further, this finding could be useful in de ... read more |
