Very interesting story that we should all know about. Any of us could get burned. Or our kids or grandkids. In the UK the NHS doesn't want to pay for it. I don't know how it is for other countries. But it's worth knowing that if you get burned, or someone you know, there is a one off treatment that will leave you scar free. Let others know, as it could be needed for someone you know.

    Very interesting; amazing results. This obviously wouldnt work on third degree+, and I'd be interested in learning exactly what type of cells they are able to use exactly, because I imagine doing something like s. cornium would be much more difficult. Still, its always great to see new technology

    Yes it's really interesting. Can't believe the pictures of him on the link. It's almost impossible. I've only just heard about it, and read the article. Try Google it for more info :)
