Granada Press Conference Attracts Media Attention

Upon publishing the article “A bioactive three-layered skin substitute based on ECM components effectively promotes skin wound healing and regeneration” in the journal Materials Today BIO, NABIHEAL partner University of Granada held a press conference to discuss their findings. 

The team around Juan Antonio Marchal Corrales developed and characterized biomimetic hydrogels to obtain a biofabricated three-layered (BT) skin substitute based on the main components found in the epidermal, dermal, and hypodermal skin layers.

This bioactive and biomimetic three-layered BT Skin has a composition that attempts to mimic the natural ECM of the skin, formulated with the characteristic cells and biomolecules present in each skin layer, and offers promising properties for its clinical application in the treatment of patients with skin injuries.

At a press conference in Granada in May 2025 the team presented their results and answered questions about this significant scientific achievement. 

The local press published a number of articles and the team was featured on TVE, the main Spanish news channel. View all media responses here:
