Bionic artificial skin with a fully implantable wireless tactile sensory system for wound healing and restoring skin tactile function

Posted in biotech/medical, cyborgs, transhumanism

Here, Kang et al. report an artificial skin with an implantable tactile sensor that can simultaneously replace the tactile function by nerve stimulation and promote skin regeneration.
