Improved understanding of skin diseases - Artificial skin from hydrogels
Dübendorf, St. Gallen, Thun, 15.04.2025 — Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Empa 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 understanding and treating skin diseases.
