Prenatal human skin atlas and organoid will accelerate research into congenital diseases and lead to clinical applications for regenerative medicine. For the first time, researchers have created a ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a research team consisting of scientists from the National Institutes of Health and Stanford University investigated how the skin independently ...

Illustration of the molecular handshake driving Staphylococcus aureus adhesion to human skin. The bacterial adhesin SdrD (purple) binds tightly to the host receptor desmoglein-1 (DSG-1, orange) on ...

Early experiments suggest a patch that delivers harmless electric currents into the skin can thwart certain bacterial infections. However, it has not yet been tested in humans. When you purchase ...

Using a few zaps of electricity to the skin, researchers can stop bacterial infections without using any drugs. For the first time, researchers designed a skin patch that uses imperceptible electric ...

University of Oregon researchers have uncovered a molecule produced by yeast living on human skin that showed potent antimicrobial properties against a pathogen responsible for a half-million ...

Some microbes can be quite clingy. Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterial species responsible for staph infections, latches onto human skin with one of the strongest biological bonds ever recorded, ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

Strep infections are most well known for causing strep throat, which can be treated with antibiotics. But this type of bacteria can also cause more serious illnesses—even flesh-eating infections. The ...
