Futurity -- KING’S COLLEGE LONDON (UK) — Bone marrow cells that transform into skin cells could be used to repair damaged skin tissue. Researchers at King’s College London and Osaka University in Japan have uncovered how this process works, providing new insights into the mechanisms behind skin repair. The finding could benefit people with chronic wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure sores and burns, as well as genetic skin diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa, which causes painful blisters on the skin.
