The Cell Blog

Human skin cells as the largest organ tissue, interfaces with our invironment and has a lot of interesting features which can be tapped by Electronic Gadget Designers/Researchers.

Our skin when used as an ordinary material and harnessed its immense power could bring new generation of sensors and eminently highly accurate and sophisticated electronic gadgets.

If you could just make electronic instruments that will automatically tell you the characteristics of a material, sense temperature and pressure, can easily detect which part of the machine is failing, sense movements around it? The drawdown is that it easily gets destroyed at high temperatures and it ages but that might not be a problem when we have unlocked the mystery of cell regeneration and learned how to accelerate it.

And based on the latest biological researches and experiments, skin cells can be reprogrammed to transform itself into stem cells, now we are talking about reconfigurable architecture.
