According to a BBC News report today, a team at the University College London has discovered a way to accellerate tissue generation via the removal of water from the starting material. Typically the process of creating specimens for skin grafts and whatnot runs between one and twelve weeks. There is speculation that this could accellerate the process greatly.
This technique, called plastic compression allowed for the creation of collagen in under a half an hour. This is great news for surgeons and patients everywhere, allowing for speed and effeciency unheard of and the creation of tissue at the bedside or in the operating theater.
This is definitely something for everyone to keep their ears to the ground for further news on.
