research Tissue Engineering of Skin and Regenerative Medicine for Wound Care

192 citations , January 2018 in “Burns & Trauma”

This review discusses the advancements in biologic skin substitutes for wound treatment and their potential in enhancing cutaneous regeneration but reports no new clinical results.

research Advanced Therapies for Skin Injuries

28 citations , September 2015 in “Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift”

New skin substitutes for treating severe burns and chronic wounds are being developed, but a permanent solution for deep wounds is not yet available commercially.

research MicroRNAs in Skin Tissue Engineering

39 citations , May 2015 in “Advanced drug delivery reviews”

This review discusses skin tissue engineering and highlights the potential role of microRNAs in improving bioengineered skin equivalents, concluding that further exploration of microRNA targets could address unmet clinical needs.

research Vital Roles of Stem Cells and Biomaterials in Skin Tissue Engineering

60 citations , January 2015 in “World Journal of Stem Cells”

This review discusses advances in skin tissue engineering, focusing on scaffold-free approaches and the application of stem cells, and reports no new research findings.

research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin

277 citations , July 2011 in “Journal of the Dermatology Nurses’ Association”

The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.

research Differentiation of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into a Multipotent Keratinocyte Lineage

101 citations , December 2010 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study reports the successful differentiation of mouse induced pluripotent stem cells into keratinocytes that can regenerate skin and its structures in an in vivo environment.

research Nestin-Expressing Interfollicular Blood Vessel Network Contributes to Skin Transplant Survival and Wound Healing

24 citations , March 2010 in “Journal of Cellular Biochemistry”

This study found that an inter-hair-follicle blood vessel network, originating from ND-GFP-expressing stem cells, contributes to angiogenesis in skin transplants and wound healing in ND-GFP transgenic mice.

research Nascent Blood Vessels in the Skin Arise from Nestin-Expressing Hair-Follicle Cells

212 citations , August 2004 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”

This study found that nestin-driven GFP labels blood vessels originating from hair follicles in mice, which could be used to study early events in skin angiogenesis and for antiangiogenesis drug screening.
