For the first time, scientists at the University of Queensland have grown living skin in the lab — complete with blood vessels and immune cells.
This breakthrough could revolutionize treatments for burns, wounds, and skin diseases, offering hope for regenerative medicine like never before.
But the discovery also raises questions:
Can engineered skin fully replace natural tissue? What ethical boundaries must guide the future of lab-grown organs?
This episode looks at the latest science of growing skin in the lab and the tough questions about making human-like tissue outside the body.
