Abstract

Human skin is the largest and most remarkable organ of the body, consisting of an integrated, stretchable network of sensors that relay information about tactile and thermal stimuli to the peripheral nervous system. It then compiles and transduces this information to the brain, which in turn sends new information back to the organs and tissues to execute responses such as biomolecule delivery (e.g. in liver, pancreas,…) or muscular action.
