Human skin harbors a wide range of microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses. In fact, recent estimates indicate that over 10 11 microbial cells could be present on skin surfaces.

Scientists have used mathematical and computer modeling to demonstrate the impact of skin homeostasis on driver and passenger mutations. All normal human tissues acquire mutations over time. Some of ...

Brazilian researchers have used three-dimensional (3D) printing to develop an artificial skin model with properties that are more similar to those of human skin. The structure, called Human Skin ...

The study has been published in Science Signaling and looks at what actually happens when a cell turns into a cancer cell. We have been studying one of the cells' signalling pathways, the so-called ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa (UI) Health Care and colleagues at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute, and Boston University, used human skin explants to track the cellular route that the ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new approach for identifying individuals with skin cancer that combines genetic ancestry, lifestyle and social ...

TAMPA, Fla. — All normal human tissues acquire mutations over time. Some of these mutations may be driver mutations that promote the development of cancer through increased proliferation and survival, ...
