Lifelike lab-grown skin developed from human stem cells

Queensland researchers have become the first in Australia to use human stem cells to generate fully functioning skin tissue in a laboratory, a significant step toward better treatments for severe burns and wounds.

Better sweat collection method could improve biomarker analysis

The chemical composition of human sweat tells us a lot about our health, but collecting it for analysis can be tricky. Current devices worn on the skin fill reservoirs one at a time but do not reflect how our rate of sweating ...

Sweat it out: Novel wearable biosensor monitors sweat electrolytes

Wearable sensors are becoming a promising tool in personalized health care and exercise monitoring. In a recent study, researchers from Japan have developed a novel wearable chemical sensor capable of measuring the concentration ...

Patch uses nanomagnets to detect muscle movement through the skin

Using nanomagnets composites and conductive yarn, scientists have invented a smart textile that can sense and measure body movements—from muscles flexing to veins pulsing. The device, presented on June 27 in the journal ...
