3D Bioprinted Skin Substitutes for Accelerated Wound Healing and Reduced Scar

The shortage of skin for grafting continues to be a major problem in the treatment of serious skin injuries. 3D bioprinting provides a new way to solve this problem. However, current 3D printed skin is less effective in treatment of large wounds because of severe shrinkage and scarring. In this study, bionically designed bilayer skin was fabricated using an extrusion-based bioprinter and a gelatin/sodium alginate/gelatin methacrylate hydrogel...
