Tissue engineering's inherent purpose is to develop skin and organ substitutes to sustain, restore or enhance wounded or sick skin functions in vivo. The cutaneous organ tissue makes up the largest organ extension within the human body, and it is also the most outward organ, which makes it the most prone to injury. Due to these problems, constant effort and research has been made looking to solve them. The review's focus is to present recent methods through which tissue engineering, using biocompatible compounds, has achieved a successful cutaneous organ healing. This will include the review of tissue engineering methods such as 3D printing and the usage of a polymeric scaffold, wound dressings and stem cells.
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.
