Skin in the game: a review of computational models of the skin

 Our new paper on computational modelling and AI in dermatology, published with an outstanding team of collaborators from five countries 🌍 .



This review explores how in silico approaches – from data-driven methods to model-based simulations – are transforming dermatology by offering new insights into skin biology, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic strategies. 

We highlight advances such as virtual skin models, skin-on-chip devices, and computational tools for surgical planning, while also discussing the challenges that remain around data, validation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. 

Excited about the opportunities this growing field holds for biomedical research and clinical innovation! 


Thanks to the European NETSKINMODELS COST Action for making this collaboration possible!

To know what we know: from the science of emergence, to BioDynaMo

Image
   NetBioMed , a satellite of the NetSci conference , in their own words brings together researchers on Machine Learning, Digital Twins and Complex Systems towards solving problems in biology and medicine . On June the 2nd 2025  Dr Marco Manca  (President of SCImPULSE Foundation ) has joined friends and colleagues from around the world to discuss the epistemology of life sciences. In an intense half an hour talk, Dr Manca has lead the audience through a brief history of delusions in medical knowledge, to immediately focus on the processes and pitfalls of building human knowledge, the impact of assumptions (dscussing the case of ergodicity assumptions) and models on measurements (and thus, on data). He discussed the pros and cons of machine learning and the limitations of the aspiration to extract "objective knowledge" from data, or even dependable knowledge, because of the very founding principles on which ML as we have it today works. He then mo...

BioDynaMo in 2024 - End of the year remarks, and Holidays greetings

Image
Dear all,  as we are approaching the end of 2024, we would like to take a moment to reflect on our collaborative achievements within the BioDynaMo community. It has been a year marked by innovation, resilience, and shared commitment to advancing our understanding of various biological systems through innovative computational modelling. This year, the consortium had several important successes. We would like to specifically mention/highlight: The paper presenting BioDynaMo’s application to cancer treatment. Radiation-induced fibrosis is a major risk factor in radiotherapy for lung cancer patients. BioDynaMo members including our Nicolo as first author published in the very prestigious Nature Communications Medicine journal, showing how BioDynaMo can be used to simulate the impact of radiation on the lung on a single cell level. Such modelling can be used to improve radiotherapy: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43856-024-00442-w Also in the domain of oncology, a study leve...
