Philippine researchers discover milkfish skin as a cost-effective, sustainable alternative for treating severe burns.

Researchers in the Philippines found that milkfish skin can be used as an affordable and sustainable alternative to artificial skin for treating severe burns and injuries, reducing reliance on imported materials. Similar to tilapia skin, which has shown faster recovery and reduced scarring in burn patients, fish skin is more resistant to contamination and can expedite healing. This innovation could offer a cost-effective solution in areas with limited access to advanced medical facilities.
