A breakthrough could heal wounds without leaving a trace.
Scarless wounds could be the future, according to a new study that has developed an alternative healing process. Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania have worked out how to manipulate lesions so they heal as regenerated skin, as opposed to scar tissue. This would mean marks made from operations or plastic surgery would be barely visible to the untrained eye.
The discovery, if rolled out mainstream,would provide relief to countless patients – not least women who undergo caesarean sections or intrusive operations.
It would also, no doubt, be a win for plastic surgery patients, who could flawlessly disguise their nips and tucks.
Methodology
The process involves transforming the most common type of cells found in wounds into fat cells – something that was previously thought to be impossible in humans.
