Biomaterials for Skin Repair and Regeneration examines a range of materials and technologies used for regenerating or repairing skin. With a strong focus on biomaterials and scaffolds, the book also examines the testing and evaluation pathway for human clinical trials.

Beginning by introducing the fundamentals on skin tissue, the book goes on to describe contemporary technology used in skin repair as well as currently available biomaterials suitable for skin tissue repair and regeneration. Skin tissue engineering and the ideal requirements to take into account when developing skin biomaterials are discussed, followed by information on the individual materials used for skin repair and regeneration. As evaluation of biomaterials in animal models is mandatory before proceeding into human clinical trials, the book also examines the different animal models available.

With a strong focus on materials, engineering, and application, this book is a valuable resource for materials scientists, skin biologists, and bioengineers with an interest in tissue engineering, regeneration, and repair of skin.

Provides an understanding of basic skin biology Comprehensively examines a variety of biomaterial approaches Looks at animal models for the evaluation of biomaterial-based skin constructs

This book offers a current overview of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM), highlighting key technological and methodological advances. It introduces core TERM concepts and strategies for tissue and organ regeneration, along with the bioengineering of tissue models based on modern principles. Chapters cover scaffold design and fabrication—especially additive manufacturing—cell-biomaterial interactions, and computational modeling of scaffold behavior. Clinical applications are included to illustrate real-world relevance. The book also explores cutting-edge topics such as bioprinting, microfluidic devices, and organoids in the development of biomimetic tissue models. Each chapter ends with a “Questions” section to help readers review and reinforce key concepts.
