Scientists use 3D bioprinting to create lab-grown skin with embedded hair follicles. They develop bio-ink composed of cells and supportive materials mimicking skin structures. Printing precise follicle arrangements allows the formation of functional skin grafts, aiding wound healing and cosmetic applications. This technique also facilitates drug testing on skin models, offering insights into skin biology […]
