Bioengineered Skin Tissues and Their Medical Importance

When I was in my 9 th grade biology class, my teacher showed us a video about artificial organ development because we had been talking about stem cell research. The part of the video that intrigued me most was how life-like the organs were. Since watching the video, I have been interested in artificial organ creation, more specifically artificial skin development. I am interested in artificial skin development because it plays an important role in our society by allowing us to more effectively treat skin trauma, such as severe burns, along with providing a new research medium.
