'Holy grail' of burn surgery: Severe burns could be treated and healed in a matter of hours | Mail Online

A revolutionary spray gun which uses stem cells to heal severe burns in a matter of days has been developed.

Doctor Jörg Gerlach, of the University of Pittsburgh's McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, has created a method which regenerates healthy skin stem cells from the victim and sprays it on the burned skin. 

Though scientists have been able to regenerate sheets of skin for decades, it is a lengthy process and the resulting skin is extremely fragile.
