Newcastle: Scientists in the UK have created a new map of human skin that provides insight into how skin is formed.
According to the researchers, the results of the research could be used to create new hair glands and skin transplants in people who have suffered burns.
Scientists have uncovered the process of human skin formation in research.
It is the first time that scientists have mapped human skin cells to understand how skin is formed before birth and what may be at risk in disease.
According to experts, prenatal skin has a unique ability to heal without scarring.
A team of researchers from Britain’s Wellcome Singer Institute and Newcastle University mapped the cells and created a small piece of skin in a dish that had the ability to grow hair.
Using this artificial skin, the researchers showed that immune cells play an important role in scar-free skin regeneration, which can prevent scarring after surgery or heal wounds without scarring.
