A Better Artificial Skin
In my opinion this article is very interesting because there is a better way to treat burn victims_ skins cells genetically engineered that can resistant to bacteria which can reduce infections. Basicly, scientists used the test tubes to grow the patient's skin cells. More recently, scientists have begun seeding the collagen scaffolds with skin cells to help the skin grow. They also grow epidermis cells on the collagen scaffold and then transplant the entire sheet. Moreover, Supp and colleagues genetically modified skin cells to produce higher levels of an antibacterial protein. Even, there is still some problems that haven't solved but the scientists also give us a hope of artifitial skin.
