Scientists try to grow 'Armor Skin' for amputees
NCT ID NCT01964859
Summary
This study is testing whether doctors can change normal skin into tougher, palm-like skin. Researchers take a person's own skin cells from their palm or sole, grow them in a lab, then inject them back into a different area like the buttock to see if the skin becomes thicker. The goal is to eventually help amputees by making their stump skin more resistant to prosthetic pressure and friction.
