Researchers Create 3D-Printed Artificial Skin That Allows Blood Circulation

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-03 02:30:00

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the dermis, the layer below the epidermis, which contains blood vessels and nerves, is regenerated, it cannot be considered normal living skin. Now, wor

However, if their blood sugar gets too low, it can lead to confusion, seizures, and even death. To combat this hypoglycemia, some patients carry syringes of glucagon, a hormone that stimulates release of glucose. Now MIT engineers have developed an alternative that could work even when people don’t realize they are becoming hypoglycemic. It could also help during sleep, or for children who
