Fabrication of Bio-Based Gelatin Sponge for Potential Use as a Functional Acellular Skin Substitute

In this laboratory study, researchers developed a genipin-stabilized asymmetric PLA/gelatin scaffold that mimics skin architecture, supports fibroblast proliferation, and closes scratches effectively, suggesting its potential for epidermal-dermal regeneration and applications in sensing or drug delivery.

This paper describes the development of unique hydrogel skin scaffolds from plant-derived polysaccharide mixtures that may offer improved biocompatibility and mechanical properties for use in artificial skin.

This study explored the development of GelMet, an electrospun hybrid nanofiber scaffold made from gelatin and PEG methacrylate, which demonstrated strong mechanical properties and effectively supported cell growth in vitro, suggesting its potential for skin tissue engineering applications.

This study developed a bilayer bionic skin scaffold that mimics the skin's structure to resist microbial invasion and enhance wound healing, with in vivo animal studies showing improved collagen deposition, neovascularization, and hair follicle formation.
