About the Event
GOLD's goal is to analyse the goldbeater's skin mechanically, structurally, and genetically down to the molecular level. The mechanical analysis will prove its material properties applied to use-cases in stretchable, elastic textiles. RNA sequencing of collagen-producing mesothelial cells from cow serosa will elucidate the biosynthesis of such a versatile tissue. Furthermore, GOLD is currently creating a physical prototype wearable based on native tissue.
