GlossaryArtificial Skin

laboratory-created substitute mimicking natural human skin functions

Artificial skin, also known as synthetic skin or bioengineered skin, is a laboratory-created substitute designed to mimic the properties and functions of natural human skin. It is often used in medical treatments for burn victims, chronic wounds, and other skin injuries, providing a temporary or permanent covering that promotes healing and reduces the risk of infection. This engineered tissue can be composed of various materials, including collagen, silicone, and biodegradable polymers, and may incorporate living cells to enhance integration with the patient's own tissue.

community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice

in Research/Science 32 upvotes 5 years ago

Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
