This is absolutely amazing. They've found a way to isolate stem cells from a person's skin and apply them with a modified spray gun to massively reduce healing time for severe burns (and likely other things, I'm thinking necrotic tissue from brown recluse spider bites). How reduced? Try from months down to a couple of days.
Warning: This video has some really disturbing scenes of severe burns in it. However it is useful to show just how dramatically it sped up healing from those injuries. Mind the rather silly use of camera angles, music, and "mug shots"...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
