In this episode of Care Forward, we explore the groundbreaking work of CUTISS, a Swiss biotech company revolutionizing burn treatment by growing patients' own skin in the laboratory.

Nina takes us into the challenging world of severe burns, where patients face a grim mathematical reality: when burns cover significant portions of the body, there simply isn't enough healthy skin left to harvest for grafts. We learn how CUTISS's innovative denovoSkin™ technology can expand a small skin biopsy up to 50 times its original size, creating personalized skin grafts that more closely resemble natural skin in both structure and function.

The episode traces CUTISS's journey from University of Zurich laboratories to clinical trials, highlighting founder Dr. Daniela Marino's leadership and the company's methodical approach to development. While clinical results show remarkable promise in reducing scarring and improving functional outcomes, we also examine the significant challenges ahead in automating production and scaling this complex biological therapy.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, biotech innovator, or industry leader, this episode offers valuable insights into the intersection of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and how mastering nature's biological complexity could transform treatment possibilities for previously untreatable conditions.
