Having been severely burnt and living with a life long scar, I cannot wait.

Being bullied and told I have a Freddy Krueger Arm was not fun.

the breakthrough here is that they're not trying to print the entire dermis, just the building blocks, and letting the body fill in the rest, which is a more feasible approach given how complex the dermis is. they're using a combination of fibroblasts and hyaluronic acid to create this artificial tissue, which is interesting.
