Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Background:

Mycelium technology is advancing, with applications in fungal electronics and living composites.
Integrating biological systems with artificial ones offers new possibilities for materials and technology.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the incorporation of living Ganoderma sessile mycelium into a model cyborg.
To create a functional bio-cybernetic entity demonstrating mycelium's potential.

Main Methods:

Cultivating Ganoderma sessile mycelium using established techniques.
Homogeneously growing the mycelium onto the surface of a model cyborg.
Testing the bio-cybernetic entity's reactivity to stimuli like light and touch.

Keywords:

Bio-electronics Bio-wearables Electrical activity Fungi Spiking
