Israeli Scientists Develop Bioengineered Skin That Heals Burns Twice as Fast

(Worthy Insights) – In a promising leap forward for burn treatment, researchers from Tel Aviv University and Sheba Medical Center have developed a new type of bioengineered skin that could dramatically improve recovery for burn victims. The team says the innovative graft, created from a patient’s own cells, heals wounds in half the time of current treatments and is stronger, more flexible, and easier to handle than existing options.

The research, published in Advanced Functional Materials, comes as medical teams in Israel continue to treat scores of burn patients, many of them soldiers injured in recent fighting. “Since October 2023, Sheba has treated many young people with burn injuries,” said Dr. Ayelet Di Segni, director of Sheba’s tissue bank. “At such a time, bringing knowledge accumulated in the lab directly to the patient’s bedside becomes an urgent and tangible goal.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
