ABSTRACT

The present entry is an overview of the application of tissue engineering in skin regeneration. A complete analysis of natural and synthetic polymeric materials is undertaken, in terms of material properties and processing technology, including strategies for fabrication of scaffolds with highly porous and interconnected structures. The selection of the cell type is determined by considering both differentiated and adult stem cells. The results of the in vitro cell culture analysis of the cell–scaffold interaction for skin tissue engineering are described here.
