    TLDR The review says that stem cells are beneficial for making skin replacements.
    The 2017 review discussed the development and use of biotechnological analogs, specifically human skin equivalents (SE), for the replacement of damaged or destroyed tissue. The study compared existing SE, both commercially available and those in preclinical stages, analyzing their structure and potential applications. It also considered three main variants of SE. The review highlighted the use of stem cells in creating SE, outlining the primary benefits of using stem cells as a cellular component of SE.
