Great question! And indeed you are right!!
My work was actually based upon a technique used to “grow” skin for patients with severe burns in the lab and then transplanting it back onto the body.
A famous Australian scientist, Dr Fiona Wood, also invented a “Spray-on skin” method of spraying a thin layer of skin cells back onto the patients skin to speed up healing. You can read more about here at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Wood
The main difference is, for patients, usually an artificial material is used to grow skin cells on before transplanting it back onto the body. In my case, I am using actual skin from patient donors to grow my skin cells on, so they are in more of a “natural” environment.
