The Skin Gun – Healing 2nd Degree Burns with Stem Cells in Four Days


Paul sent me this – watch it, it’s amazing.

StemCellTV - From National Geographic - The Skin Gun - Healing Burns with Stem Cells

The video is an excerpt from an upcoming episode of National Geographic Channel's Explorer.  It details the work of Dr. Jörg C. Gerlach and the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh.  Gerlach has developed a "skin gun" that sprays a burn victim's own stem cells on to his or her damaged skin. The process is still experimental, but Gerlach says a dozen people have been treated using the procedure.  Each patient experienced rapid healing of severe burns in only a few days.

Stem cells are clearly going to be our 21st Century miracle medicine and a pox on all George Bush types who want to limit the research.  Get the Bible thumpers out of government.
