Shriners Burns Institute pioneers lab-grown skin grafts
Surgeons at the Shriners Burns Institute in Boston used laboratory-grown human skin to cover about half of the body surfaces on two severely burned brothers, Glen and Jamie Selby of Wyoming. The technique, developed by Dr. Howard Green, grew patches from the boys’ unburned skin and proved life-saving where traditional grafting was impossible.
