Another group of scientists are trying to bottle the miracle of regenerative medicine. A new skin cell spray was shown to improve the conventional treatment for leg ulcers. When applied prior to wrapping the leg with compression bandages, the spray both improved the extent of healing and did it in less time than healing with bandages alone. The impressive results could also mean the end of skin grafting, an alternative to compression bandages that is painful and the benefits of which are often inconsistent.
