摘要
Autologous keratinocyte culture, and combinations of scaffolds, different cell types, solutions of macromolecules, or growth factors have contributed to the resurfacing of full-thickness skin defects. Ideally, a treatment for full-thickness skin defects should not merely reestablish continuity of the surface of the skin but should restore its structure to allow skin to function as a dynamic biological factory that can participate in protein synthesis, metabolism, and cell signaling, and form an essential part of the body’s immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. This paper provides a review of clinically available autologous skin replacements, highlighting the importance of regenerating an organ that will function physiologically.
