Give Me Some Skin !

Here's an article I just came across that's pretty interesting --

Scaffolds for skin reconstruction by ZDNet's Roland Piquepaille -- Researchers at the University of Sheffield have developed a dissolvable scaffold for growing new areas of skin when it's severely damaged. These microscopic scaffolds, made from specially developed polymers, look similar to tissue paper. The researchers think that this technology will move out of the lab in a few years.
