Situation
Scars are permanent and unavoidable. Surgery for cancer, injuries from war, and accidents like burns – all can cause life-changing scars. In the UK, 5 million people live with problem scarring. Painful and debilitating, they affect how you move, how you look, and how you feel about yourself. Inside our bodies, scarring in the heart, lungs, and kidneys can be an invisible killer, causing 45% of deaths worldwide. We urgently need to find new ways to prevent and treat scarring.
