Skin provides protection against external agents and plays an essential role in maintaining the body homeostasis. Bioprinting as a novel strategy involves computer-controlled deposition of cells and scaffolds into a three-dimensional (3D) construction of skin. 3D bioprinting gives an opportunity to generate multi-layered vascularized skin grafts that can overcome the limitations of current skin substitutes. The main indication is treatment of troublesome wounds, especially severe burns and non-healing chronic lesions. Bioprinted skin equivalents offer a promising approach in the field of regenerative medicine. This review presents and discusses 3D skin construct formation, its limitations and modifications, and its usefulness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
