but will we see this ever in a human trial in our lifetime? i guess you know the answer.
if the fu**ing bureaucracy and world laws would allow to try this out tomorrow in a well controlled clinical setup with a few volunteers, the cure could be developed within 2 years or so. not even a cure for hairloss. imagine how great those skin patches are, for several purposes, of course including burn victims. creating such skin in the lab is huge. but it won't happen in the next 10 to 20 years.
we need someone like elon musk for the healthcare sector. people who don't just talk about the future but turning it into reality. often some kind of progress in the world comes only because of some few great and passionate people in the world.
