Few years back I had read the article on Stem Cell research, in which they showed how the Stem Cells can be used to generate new skin and help treat burn victims. Now this technology has come closer to being real. Soon we should seem to replacing the Skin Grafting technique and improve the recovery time from weeks to hours.
The technology is still in experimental stage and has not been widely adopted, but it has already help some burn victims to recover faster and successfully from the trauma. The technology uses the stem cells from the patients healthy skin and mixes that with a solution to for mixture for spray paint. This the doctors spray on the burnt area to form a layer of skin cell generated skin.
Gizmodo blogs has reported an article on this, where the video is posted which explains how this technology works. The video below is graphic showing some burn wounds, so use your discretion before watching the video.
This is definitely a positive development in Stem Cell research and could be great news for burn victims.
