Healing through innovation: Using artificial human skin for major wound recovery
Fran Fernández's life changed completely on a summer day seven years ago in Algeciras, southern Spain. On 5 August 2017, he was hit by an explosion that burned 75% of his skin. When he arrived at the hospital, Fran was given no more than 48 hours to live, but today he has recovered thanks to more than a dozen operations and several grafts of both his own and artificial skin.
