An interesting investigational concept. "Spray-on cells" to treat severe burns:

Doctors are to assess the effectiveness of using a spray-on skin cell culture to treat burns victims.

A team at Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, has already used the technique to treat several patients - including a man with 90% burns.

However, they now hope to produce hard evidence of its worth to justify its high cost.

The latest study will examine whether the cells go on to become a fully functioning part of the skin.

I wonder whether this would be a more feasible alternative to using fetal')" rel="nofollow">http://www.biotech-weblog.com/50226711/fetal_skin_cells_heal_burns.php

? If it does, at least it would be less controversial.
