Researchers Invented Artificial Skin

A team of Swedish researchers has developed two methods for creating artificial skin with built-in blood vessels — the key for skin to regenerate and truly become “alive.”

Why It Hits: Skin — its components, how it works, and its relationship to our body — remains something of a mystery in science. What is clear: artificial skin without blood vessels is little more than a permanent Band-Aid. Vascularization is what allows skin to breathe, heal, and function like the real thing.

Behind The Skin: Researchers at Linköping University developed two methods for 3D bioprinting “vascularized” skin, according to Wired.

  • The first uses a bio-ink called “μInk,” where skin cells grow on “small spongy gelatin grains encased in hyaluronic acid gel.” When layered, it creates thick skin.

  • When this formula was transplanted onto mice, it not only formed skin but also generated new blood vessels within it.

  • The team also created a new tech called “REFRESH” (Rerouting of Free-Floating Suspended Hydrogel Filaments), which “enables the flexible construction of blood vessels in artificial tissues by printing and arranging threads of hydrogel.”

  • This allows networks of blood vessels to form freely within artificial skin, ensuring a steady flow of oxygen and nutrients.

The Future: Transplanting skin onto injured areas of the body through grafting is a major part of the healing process. But grafting comes with sacrifices — from scarring to limited functionality — making a bioengineered alternative a potential leap forward in regenerative medicine.

Prediction: Innovations in blood-vessel creation could pave the way for a world where entire organs can be grown and transplanted into the human body — with a reduced risk of rejection.
