bioengineered skin

Bioengineered skin is a type of artificial skin created in laboratories to help heal severe wounds or burns. It is made from living cells, often derived from the patient's own tissue or donor sources, combined with biomaterials that support cell growth. This engineered skin mimics the natural properties of real skin, providing a protective barrier, promoting healing, and reducing scarring. It is used as a temporary covering or as a permanent skin substitute to improve recovery outcomes when natural skin cannot regenerate on its own.
