By making grafts called cultured epidermal autografts , which contain genetic mutation corrections that give healthy skin, and grafting these naturally corrected skin cells to affected areas, outbreaks of the disease could be controlled.With recent advancements in science and technology, skin diseases can now be treated by transplanting healthy skin.
They achieved this by transplanting genetically healthy skin to inflamed areas. As of now, transplanting healthy skin to inflamed areas would be mostly used as a treatment option to tackle severe burn injuries. are cured. It’s believed that this research could call for a new and effective solution for those with challenging skin disorders.The study notes that EI and IWC are genetic disorders which are extremely rare.
There have been reports in the past where scientists have been able to treat a kid. He had a rare genetic skin disease. They did this through a transplant of skin grown using genetically modified stem cells as reported byLecturer Kana Tanahashi, Prof. Masashi Akiyama, and Associate Prof.
After a month two of the patients had no ichthyosis recurrence in the entire treated area. The third did not show recurrence in more than a third of the affected area.
