From the University of Pittsburgh’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Doctor Jörg Gerlach has created a fast and effective new alternative to skin grafts: the skin gun.
The video clip (from National Geographic) shows Gerlach spraying a patient’s adult stem cells onto the burn area. Applied within 90 minutes, the stem cell application heals the burn within days.
Warning: the video does contain some pretty graphic burn pictures.

Damn,
This video contains content from National Geographic, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.
Yeah – really annoying when people tell you about something like this and you are blocked from seeing it. At least a warning that it is USA only would be appreciated…save me the time and disappointment…
I found another upload of it (mirror image) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y5H9Sasq5U for those who are blocked…
