Scientists try to grow 'Sole' skin on other body parts

NCT ID NCT01964859

Summary

This study aims to see if skin cells taken from a person's palm or sole can be grown in a lab and injected into another area (like the buttock) to create thicker, tougher skin. Researchers will remove the injected skin later to check if it changed. The goal is to learn if this approach could one day help people who need more durable skin, such as amputees using prosthetics.
