The scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute hope the skin they’ve been able to produce will provide a 'humane alternative to using animals' in testing of cosmetics and other products. | The scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute hope the [[skin]] they’ve been able to produce will provide a 'humane alternative to using animals' in testing of cosmetics and other products. | ||
After the cells from the foreskins have multiplied inside the machine, they’re injected into a gel that forces them to grow into a sheet that simulates the epidermis — the outermost layer of human skin. To create a model that simulates human skin, three of these layers are fused together. | After the cells from the [[Foreskin| foreskins]] have multiplied inside the machine, they’re injected into a gel that forces them to grow into a sheet that simulates the epidermis — the outermost layer of human [[skin]].
