Vitamin C powers up special enzymes called TET enzymes (short for ten-eleven translocation enzymes), spots the methyl “locks” ...

They created a human skin explant system using full-thickness skin biopsies from healthy individuals, which contained both deeper (dermal), and surface (epidermal) layers of skin.

These lab-grown models replicate the three-layer structure and biomechanics of natural skin and have been successfully used to assess the effects of nanoparticles commonly found in cosmetic ...

Instead of using real human test subjects, experimenters could grow artificial skin layers from real cells. Beyond improving robotic interfaces, the research team believes their technique could ...
