A world first: Human skin with blood circulation has been produced!
A groundbreaking development has occurred in medicine. Australian scientists have developed the closest model to human skin. This skin , which contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and immune cells, could be effective in treating skin diseases.
Scientists from the University of Queensland have developed the closest model of real human skin to the world's first in a laboratory setting. Researchers from the University of Queensland have created a skin model that includes blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and immune cells.
FROM STEM CELLS TO SKINThe research team created a "skin-like organ" by converting human skin cells into stem cells. This model incorporates small blood vessels, resulting in a multilayered skin tissue with its own circulatory system.
The study, led by Dr. Abbas Shafiee, highlighted that previous models could only mimic the skin surface, but the new model is the closest structure to real human skin, with hair follicles, nerve cells, pigmentation, immune system and blood circulation.
Shafiee stated that this model will enable better study of skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema , that new treatments can be tested, and that significant advances can be made in burn and wound healing. Scientific Publication
The results of the study were published in a medical journal.
