'The significance of Scar Free funded work is wide ranging, and will act as a springboard to translate our research from bench to bedside'

Fascinating summary of the @ReconRegen team's progress in ear reconstruction, which is bound to transform the future of surgery.

[Scar Free Foundation @scarfreeworld]

'The major focus of our research is 3D printing tissue-engineered cartilage for use in facial reconstruction; initially in the paediatric population'

The team are creating a pioneering treatment allowing printed living tissue to be tailored to the individual needs of patients.

Professor Iain Whitaker now presents on the 3D Bioface project, taking place in Swansea University. The team were instrumental during lockdown and were involved in 3D printing ventilator valves and PPE for the NHS.

During the coronavirus pandemic ReconRegen’s @thjovic and @steveali89 took on a review on the evidence of vitamins in COVID19 (a bit beyond our usual scope!) with @JessopZita @Tom__Dobbs @SPTarassoli https://t.co/jCsEPHsiul well done team!

[Recon Regen @ReconRegen]

Great to see another strong output from @JessopZita ‘s @The_MRC funded PhD thesis in @stemcellrt . A novel original article looking at the role of nasal cartilage stem cells and their potential role for cartilage tissue engineering for facial reconstruction. @BAPRASvoice

[Recon Regen @ReconRegen]

Great to get the Proofs of our recent article on Ear Reconstruction in JPRAS. @thjovic @JPRASurg @BAPRASvoice

[Recon Regen @ReconRegen]

Delighted to have a really topical and important paper accepted in the @BJSurgery on personal protective equipment for surgeons in the Covid-19 Pandemic. Great team work with my two most senior Lecturers @JessopZita and Tom Dobbs and team.
