Marlene Breverman stashed this in Wounds
The study, published in FASEB Journal, shows that skins cells will alter the proteins holding them in place and move to repair a wound.

Well I've never seen anything like that before.
Will this be useful in curing something or helping someone?
Apparently this is a new observation, not a new manipulation, so lots of testing must be done on furthering what the skin already does. The 'skin' — epidermis/dermis — is the first to heal after a wound (provides a germ barrier and keeps our insides from falling out). Our internal organs take longer... anyone ever have surgery ;)
Yeah I hear you.
I was hoping this information could be useful for skin graft therapies.
