■Scientists develop synthetic skin in laboratory using cell line
In an effort to find a treatment for severe burns and chronic skin wounds, a team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is working with a cell line that it hopes is capable of developing into natural human skin. A study showed that the skin proved to be safe and effective in treating 15 patients with severe burns for a week. They plan to conduct a Phase II trial in the coming months to test whether the laboratory-derived skin is effective for long-term use, the lead researcher said. The Wall Street Journal (7/6)
