A 2015 paper discovered them not just lurking but bristling with activity in the keratinized epithelial cells of human skin.

"By mimicking human skin-ligament structures and by using specially made V-shaped perforations in solid materials, we found a way to bind skin to complex structures." He said the natural ...

The uncanny feat is the result of new technology using engineered living skin tissue and human-like ligaments to give robots a more natural smile, according to Tokyo University researchers who ...

While it might look like the stuff of nightmares, this tiny robot covered in living skin could mark a step forward in the quest to make robots more human-like. It’s the work of researchers in ...

For the first time, researchers have created a single cell atlas of prenatal human skin to understand how skin forms, and what goes wrong in disease. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute ...

Malassezia are a type of microscopic fungi that thrive on human skin, feeding on the ample lipids — the oils and the fats — that are found there and turning them into smaller fatty acids. These fungi ...
