Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering in Burns and Wounds

Skin is the largest tissue of the human body, and it acts as a protective barrier. If this barrier is lost due to injury wound healing is initiated, which is a complex repair process of orchestrated phases with the goal to restore homeostasis. Burns represent one of the most devastating traumas in which skin wound healing is crucial for survival. As current practices are associated with failures, new avenues were explored to accelerate and …
