Permanent Coverage of Large Burn Wounds with Autologous Cultured Human Epithelium
Abstract
WHEN burns are so extensive that skin grafts obtainable from remaining donor sites are insufficient to provide wound coverage, a new source of autograft must be found. Human epidermal cells from a small skin-biopsy sample can be cultured to produce coherent epithelial sheets sufficient to cover the entire body surface.1,2 When this epithelium was applied to wounds on athymic mice it generated a human epidermis.3 Autologous cultured epithelium placed on small burn wounds in adults'1 and children5 adhered and generated a permanent epidermis similar to that resulting from split-thickness skin grafts. We report here that in two children who sustained . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
