GlossarySkin Tissue Engineering

field creating artificial skin to replace damaged or diseased skin

Skin Tissue Engineering is a field of biomedical engineering that focuses on creating artificial skin or skin substitutes to replace damaged or diseased skin. This involves using a combination of cells, biomaterials, and biochemical factors to construct skin layers that can mimic the structure and function of natural skin, aiding in wound healing and treating conditions like burns or chronic ulcers.
