Of course, TGM-based scar-free healing is still a long way off from being available to the public. While the new technology has proven effective in early animal testing, it will still have to undergo human clinical trials and analysis before it can become a regular part of the medical toolkit.
While it’s a ways off, and there’s always the possibility of unforeseen roadblocks, it could revolutionize the recovery process in the near future.
Scar-free healing promises fast recovery that eliminates the permanent, physical, reminders of major skin injuries. It also mitigates the common mobility problems caused by major skin injuries, whether it’s from an accident or a side effect of surgery. It’s hard to imagine such a miraculous technology came about because of the roundworm, a parasite most of us associate with rodents and pets.
