Abstract
ROJAS, Mauricio; SOLERA, Daniel; HERRERA, Carolina and VEGA-BAUDRIT, Jose. CUTANEOUS ORGAN REGENERATION BY VIRTUE OF TISSUE ENGINEERING. Momento [online]. 2020, n.60, pp.67-95. Epub Mar 24, 2020. ISSN 0121-4470. https://doi.org/10.15446/mo.n60.82752.
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.
Keywords : Tissue engineering; skin; cutaneous organ; regeneration; biocompatible polymers.
