title: [Epidermal cell cultures--significance for wound coverage in the human].
abstract: Epithelial sheets can be cultivated from isolated epidermal cells; in this way, it is possible to increase the cell number considerably. H. Green and co-workers were the first to make use of such epithelia for the autologous covering of burn wounds. We modified this method and report on our experiences with this technique in a patient with small skin defects.
