Abstract:
Severe skin damage not only causes a mass of tissue defect, but also leads to the loss of various sensory functions. Tissue engineering skin provides a new way for high-quality wound repair, while there are still many problems in the recovery of sensory function, such as abnormality or loss of sensation of pain, touch, and temperature. Therefore, when tissue engineering skin is used to promote wound healing, regeneration and functional recovery of sensory nerve have attracted more and more attention. This article introduces the kind, distribution, regeneration, and factors influencing regeneration of sensory nerve in skin, and explores strategies in promoting regeneration of sensory nerve from dermal scaffold, seed cell, and neurturin of tissue engineering skin.

Sensory Functions of the Skin
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Sensory Modalities
General senses refer to the broad category of sensory information detected by receptors in the body and can be further grouped into somatic and visceral senses. Somatic sensations include touch, pressure, temperature, and pain and are essential for navigating our environment and...
