Developing functional blood-vascular networks is crucial for skin tissue engineering. This review explores cell-based strategies to enhance vascularization for effective full-thickness wound healing.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Wound Healing

Background:

  • Successful skin tissue engineering for full-thickness wounds requires a robust blood-vascular network for cell survival and integration.
  • Promoting vascularization remains a significant challenge in current skin tissue engineering practices.
  • Various cell types have been investigated preclinically to improve vascularization in dermal substitutes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline mechanisms of cell-based vascularization in skin tissue engineering.
  • To detail candidate cell types for promoting vascularization, evaluating their clinical applicability and wound healing regulation.
  • To discuss the pros and cons of different cell types for autologous and allogeneic therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on cell-based vascularization strategies.
