A new type of bandage being developed by scientists at the University of Illinois has the potential to shorten the amount of time required for healing to take place and actually serve to quicken the healing process. The researchers noted that their tests on chicken embryos resulted in a direct mirroring of the blood vessels to the pattern on the bandage, meaning in the future healing could be stimulated to mimic a specific pattern and be programmed in the future.

Sounds awesome its amazing what can be done these days. I can imagine a time when a limb is severed severely there could pottentialy in the future be able top repair an injury like that in a short period of time.

s/f op for a great find on this one. The Nano technology and the fruits and possibilities it possesses if unbelievable. I will be watching this tech closely. Thanks again.

PS If it's possible for this to be a reality, I wonder what it can do if inhaled

We love good grammar & grandpa
But what happens if the band-aid surface pattern is a permanent 666 tracking barcode on your skin?
