Could bioprinted skin uncover a new treatment for eczema?
Bioprinted Skin Mayo Clinic has developed its first 3D prototype of human skin bioprinted to model inflammatory skin disease. 3D bioprinting is a technology that mixes bioinks with living cells to print natural tissue-like structures in three dimensions. This new technology provides the most human-like skin model for studying inflammatory conditions such as atopic dermatitis — more commonly known as eczema — a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy and inflamed skin. The 3D bioprinting… (Source: Mayo Clinic Research News)

Newborns can’t process the compound, and although high levels normally subside, a persistent surplus can cause brain damage.
Yet later this year up to 40 healthy Australian volunteers may begin receiving infusions of the supposedly good-for-nothing molecule. They will be participating in a phase 1 safety trial, sponsored...
