Cell-based skin grafting

Objective: The cell-based skin grafting (CBSG) has been developed as a state-of-art approach for skin regeneration. The aim is to provide autologous cells, isolated from a skin biopsy, as a regenerative solution for patients suffering from severe skin loss or difficult-to-heal skin wounds. The technique involves the collaboration of the surgical team with cell biologists to conduct the isolation of the skin cells and the application of cell suspension to the wound inside the operation room, in a 3-hour procedure.
