Biopolymers

... cells, although you can, under some circumstances, make what it called artificial skin by growing primary fibroblast explants on special kinds of biopolymers in vitro. The “skin” is sometimes used as transplant material for severely burned patients. People are trying, but you can’t do that sort ...
