Description
Swasti Bhatnagar and Deepsekhar Das review how lab-grown skin has advanced from simple grafts toward 3D-printed living tissue. Bad burns, wounds, and ulcers can outgrow what normal healing or donor skin can repair, the authors note.
Substitutes grew from plain scaffolds to cell-seeded builds using skin cells, support cells, and natural matrix material. In animal tests, printed grafts sped up surface regrowth and formed organised collagen plus new blood vessels. Newer ideas include printing that changes shape over time, dressings with built-in sensors, and robots printing skin in place. Bhatnagar cautions that cost, standards, and approval rules still block routine use in patients.
