Scientists 3D-print hair follicles in lab-grown skin
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)

A team led by scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has 3D-printed hair follicles in human skin tissue cultured in the lab. This marks the first time researchers have used the technology to generate hair follicles, which play an important role in skin healing and function. The finding, published in the journal “Science Advances,” has potential applications in regenerative medicine and drug testing, though engineering skin grafts that grow hair are still several years away.

Women Produce Skin Temperature Data that is Just as Predictable as Men
University of California San Diego

Women produce physiological data that is just as predictable as men, at least when it comes to skin temperature. This might seem like common sense, but variations in body signals due to menstrual cycles, such as temperature, were used as an excuse to keep women out of clinical studies for decades.  The data for the finding was gathered from a wearable device to continuously monitor the skin temperature of 600 people, half female and half male, over six months.

Looking sharp! Shark skin is unique and may have medical use, too
Marine Biological Laboratory

Sharks differ from other fish in many ways, including an apparently remarkable ability to heal from wounds, according to reports of sharks recovering from injuries sustained in the wild. While this healing ability has not yet been documented in controlled laboratory conditions, some of the chemical compounds found in shark skin may have significant biomedical potential.
