[ CHAT ] Hello to all on this thread, I just wanted to let all know that a recent news report on local Boston TV indicated that a Cambridge, MA based company (which I believe to be GENZL) is providing tissue to a recent burn victim in the news who was doused with gasoline and set afire. According to the report, tissue is being replicated from the genetic makeup of the fragments of skin on the victims body that wasn't more than a 3rd degree burn. There is very little good skin and time is of the essence to provide new skin growth to beat/prevent infection.As tissue is grown it is sent to a Shriners Hospital for transplant. I have not seen anything else re results for this victim but it's a story worth following ... if anyone has any updates please post. Regards, NEPF
