Injuries of the skin take a long time to heal. For a 10 mm cut, it takes
1-2 weeks to turn into a scar and then slowly fade away. Researchers are
working on various innovations for shortening the healing process and
accelerating the natural responses of the human organism for more effective
skin regeneration.Healthpoint Biotherapeutics developed a skin cell spray to improve
conventional treatment for leg ulcers. According to a study, applied prior
to wrapping the leg with compression bandages, the spray both improved the
extent of healing and did it in less time than healing with bandages alone.

A very similar extracellular matrix helped treat a US Marine who lost
70 percent of his thigh muscle in a mortar explosion in Afghanistan.
Researchers at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the
University of Pittsburgh applied a “cocktail of proteins” and growth
factors derived from pig bladders. After a few weeks, his leg muscles
started to grow back! Simply amazing!
