UK scientists are developing artificial skin which may be of help in healing wounds and treating burns victims.

UK scientists in artificial skin breakthrough - Telegraph

Extract:

"A long-lasting artificial skin has been developed by British researchers.

The Cambridge-based Intercytex Group Plc has announced that tests had produced promising results in healing wounds in early clinical trials.


Scientists said that the successful tests, in which laboratory-made living human skin was fully and consistently integrated into the human body for the first time, marked a clinical breakthrough in regenerative medicine.

Writing in the journal Regenerative Medicine, Intercytex said the new skin - called ICX-SKN - appeared to incorporate itself much better with real tissue than any other skin substitutes tried in the past, which biodegrade in situ after a few weeks.

The researchers hope it might provide an alternative to skin grafts, which are often used for victims of serious burns and large wounds.

ICX-SKN is created from a matrix produced by the same skin cells that are responsible for synthesising new tissue in the body. Results show that the new skin had produced a closed and healed wound site after just 28 days. "

"Intercytex founder Paul Kemp hopes to develop a range of cell-based implants that can regenerate lost tissue."
