Living skin can be produced directly on a deep wound through 3D printing

During an amazing surgery, researchers managed to produce living skin directly on the wounds of a mouse using 3D printing.

According to Tekna's technology and technology news service, for the first time in the world, the production of living and multi-layered skin was done directly on the wound of a mouse without creating an additional wound and through 3D printing. According to published reports, researchers were able to print real skin directly on the damaged areas through 3D printing. Severe skin damage due to trauma or extensive surgery on the face or head, usually due to the removal of a cancerous tumor, has a negative effect on a person's self-confidence.

Now Pennsylvania State University researchers were able to print, for the first time, full-thickness 3D printing of living skin with the potential for hair growth directly on mice during surgery.

Ebrahim Azbulat, the author of the study and one of the researchers of this research, says: Currently, reconstructive surgery to correct facial damage or wounds is incompletely performed due to injury or disease, and scars or hair loss are usually caused permanently. We have now been able to create full-thickness skin through bioprinting with hair growth potential. Using this study, it is possible to achieve natural and aesthetic appearance of head and face reconstruction in the future.

According to this researcher, hypoderm is directly involved in this process in the transformation of stem cells into fat. This process is very important for several other vital processes such as wound healing and plays a significant role in the hair follicle cycle and its growth. Researchers have previously used two different biological inks for 3D printing at the same time to repair different parts such as holes in the skull or the skin of rodents, and now they have made their study more advanced than in the past.
