Question: Is it possible to use the skin you grow for a skin transplant. If it is how?

So when the skin was first grown there was lots in the news about how maybe it will be used one day to treat bald people! So maybe! We grew the skin to try and understand how the skin heals when it’s injured. Some people can’t heal their skin if they’ve cut themselves which can be quite dangerous and very painful. We’ll use the skin we grew to try and figure out what’s going wrong so we can then try and find a way to treat it!
