3D Bioprinted Skin: Breakthroughs in Regenerative Medicine | Tomorrow’s Cure Season 4 Episode 1

Skin is the physique’s largest organ, and its well being can reveal way more about getting older and illness than what reveals up within the mirror. In this episode of Tomorrow’s Cure from Mayo Clinic, host Cathy Wurzer talks with dermatologist and regenerative medication professional Dr. Saranya Wyles of Mayo Clinic and biomedical engineer Dr. Adam Feinberg of Carnegie Mellon University about “SkinSpan” and the fast-moving world of 3D bioprinted pores and skin.

They discover how layered, residing pores and skin fashions constructed from human cells and collagen are serving to researchers research situations like eczema, persistent wounds, burns, and age-related modifications in pores and skin construction and pigment. The dialog dives into “zombie cells” (senescent cells), what they reveal about pores and skin getting older and irritation, and the way pores and skin modifications might affect whole-body well being.
