Apligraf is a matrix of cow collagen, human fibroblasts and keratinocyte stem cells (the kind found in skin), that, when applied to chronic wounds (particularly nasty problems like diabetic sores), can seed healing and regeneration.

    • You know, this stuff should outright replace band-aids altogether.

      I mean, band-aids hurt like hell when you have to take them off, but this stuff will just grow around the hairs... and since they both do the exact same thing, it definetely sounds like a huge advantage to me.
