Tissue Engineered Human Skin Equivalents
Human skin not only serves as an important barrier against the penetration of exogenous substances into the body, but also provides a potential avenue for the transport of functional active drugs/reagents/ingredients into the skin (topical delivery) and/or the body (transdermal delivery). In the past three decades, research and development in human skin equivalents have advanced in parallel wit...
متن کاملStem cells and tissue-engineered skin.
Advances in tissue engineering of skin are needed for clinical applications (as in wound healing and gene therapy) for cutaneous and systemic diseases. In this paper we review the use of epidermal stem cells as a source of cells to improve tissue-engineered skin. We discuss the importance and limitations of epidermal stem cell isolation using biomarkers, in quest of a pure stem cell preparation...
متن کاملBio-Engineered Skin and Soft Tissue Substitutes
When Policy Topic is covered Breast reconstructive surgery using allogeneic acellular dermal matrix products* (i.e., AlloDerm®, AlloMaxTM, DermaMatrixTM, FlexHD®, GraftJacket®) may be considered medically necessary, when there is insufficient tissue expander or implant coverage by the pectoralis major muscle and additional coverage is required, when there is viable but compromised or thin p...
متن کاملTissue-Engineered Products for Skin Regenerative Medicine
In a general wound healing process, foreign bodies and tissue detritus have to be broken down and then a new tissue is produced. However, the new tissue formation sometimes fails to proceed under the impaired conditions such as burn injury and intractable skin ulcer. A major obstruction to wound healing is infection. Another obstruction to wound healing is deficiency of growth factors. The endo...
متن کاملTissue-Engineered Skin Substitutes - 06/12
Tissue-engineered skin substitutes may be either acellular or cellular. Acellular products (i.e., cadaveric human dermis with cellular material removed) contain a matrix or scaffold composed of materials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin. Cellular products contain living cells such as fibroblasts and keratinocytes within a matrix. The cells contained within the matrix may be au...
