Abstract
The ideal living tissue skin substitute for use in burn injury does not yet exist. The currently available alternatives to autologous skin grafting require an understanding of their characteristics and limitations to make an informed decision of surgical treatment options. In this review, living tissue substitutes are categorized by autologous and allogeneic cell sources and epidermal-only versus bilayered tissue options. A short summary of the tissue composition, clinical data, and indications is provided. Finally, the gap in technology is defined and future potential areas of research are explored.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
