Pei Leng Tan is addressing the challenges of skin autografting in managing large burn wounds by proposing a solution involving the delivery of high-density proliferative skin cells encapsulated in biodegradable core-shell microspheres. This innovative approach supports cell proliferation, and upon release at the wound site, the cells expand into epidermal-dermal sheets, offering potential coverage for large burns.
