Melbourne lab successfully grows skin in ‘incredible’ breakthrough

Sky News host Liz Storer discusses one of the biggest breakthroughs for burns care in decades. Human-like skin grown in a laboratory has been successfully given to a Melbourne burns patient in a world-first trial. “This is incredible ... we’re going to be able to say to an incredibly burnt victim, ‘hey, we are just going to take some of your skin cells, grow a heap of your own skin for you and whack it back on’,” Ms Storer said.
