Skin bioengineering offers advanced alternatives for skin substitution in reconstructive surgery and burn management. This review covers the evolution and current methods for developing in vitro and in vivo skin substitutes.

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biotechnology
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • The skin is the body's largest organ, vital for protection.
  • Skin loss necessitates substitution in reconstructive surgery and burn care.
  • Traditional methods include skin grafts and tissue transfers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of skin bioengineering.
  • To discuss current approaches for developing skin substitutes.
  • To highlight in vitro and in vivo methods for epidermis and dermis regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of scientific literature on skin bioengineering.
  • Analysis of engineering and life science principles applied to skin substitutes.
  • Examination of in vitro and in vivo development techniques.
