Human Skin

Is it possible to create something close to the human skin for a project? Not jello because we need to experiment on the skin. Maybe using different compounds that make up the skin, we could create our own to experiment on.

Hi billybog,

Often in vitro cell culture is used as a model system for human tissues, when the research project is about biological components. This involves a cell-culture labe set-up, which you may have access to at a local university. Tell us a bit more about your project and what you hope to study and we can direct you further.
