Wound healing is a major problem for many older individuals. Chronic, non-healing skin ulcers are a major source of health care costs.

Skin swabs are "surprisingly effective" at identifying Covid-19 infection, according to new research from the University of Surrey.

A flexible photodetector could provide future robots with an electronic skin capable of "seeing" light beyond the range of human vision.

The small, thin microphone demonstrates a wider auditory field than human ears, while it can be easily attachable to the skin.

Researchers are challenging centuries-old beliefs about the fundamental science related to how mammals might regenerate damaged body parts.

Researchers developed an SPS-enabled artificial skin which mimicks human skin for pain perception and sensitivity to touch.

Smart skin is a wafer-thin material that reacts simultaneously to force, moisture and temperature with extremely high spatial resolution.

A new study suggests that a wearable sensor may be able to monitor the body’s health by detecting the gases released from a person’s skin.

Yale researchers are developing a skin cancer treatment that involves injecting nanoparticles into the tumor and killing cancer cells.

Drawing on the Japanese art of kirigami to contour to the human body to better detect electrocardiographic signals.

Researchers have invented a squid-skin inspired material that can wrap around a coffee cup to shield sensitive fingers from heat.

The platform uses genetically modified skin cells to deliver long-lasting, hyper-effective treatment and only needs to be administered once.

It is paramount for electric skin – being developed for artificial skin – to be capable of reacting to the external environment in real time

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system in the world.

Hair follicles assist in the development of a pimple, but new research suggests the skin cells outside of hair follicles play a larger role.

A research team has, for the first time, observed chimpanzees applying insects to their own wounds and the wounds of conspecifics.

A study of the genetics of acne has identified 29 regions of the genome that influence the condition and provide genetic insights.

Frostbite not only kills skin cells, but can also harm deeper tissues like muscle and bone, sometimes causing infections and nerve damage.

Tiny dressings that generate electricity in response to movement could accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration.

The findings offer new clues into the behaviour of skin cancer at the cellular level, paving the way for potential new therapeutic targets.
