Background:

Tissue engineering of skin is crucial for wound healing, particularly after burn injuries.
Animal models are essential for evaluating tissue-engineered skin and cell therapies in realistic conditions.
Pigs serve as a valuable preclinical model for skin research due to anatomical and physiological similarities to human skin.

Purpose of the Study:

To present established methods for utilizing pig models in the assessment of tissue-engineered skin grafts.
To highlight the suitability of pig models for burn injury research in skin tissue engineering.

Main Methods:

Detailed explanation of routine procedures for employing pig models in burn wound studies.
Focus on the application and testing of tissue-engineered skin constructs in vivo.
Standardized protocols for wound creation and graft evaluation in porcine models.

Main Results:

The study outlines a reproducible methodology for testing engineered skin in a relevant animal model.
Pig models demonstrate efficacy in simulating human burn wound healing for tissue-engineered skin evaluation.

Conclusions:

The described methods provide a robust framework for advancing skin tissue engineering research using pig models.
This approach facilitates the preclinical validation of engineered skin therapies for burn patients.
