Abstract [en]
The skin is the biggest organ in the body and the organ that interacts directly with the environment. As a result, the skin is susceptible to numerous challenges that could result in injury or burn. The intricate interplay between different cell types, growth factors, mediators, chemokines, cytokines, neurovasculature, and the extracellular matrix is crucial for the healing of skin wounds. Additionally, the complex synchronization of several distinct cell types, in orderly phases, is necessary for skin restoration. The dermis is the outer impermeable layer of healthy skin that protects the body from its surroundings. Sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and hair follicles are all in the dermis. The dermis gives the skin strength, nutrition, and immunity and is abundant in the extracellular matrix and vascular channels. The dermis is supported by subcutaneous adipose tissue, which serves as an energy store. Moreover, it provides the dermis with growth factors continuously. Each layer also has resident immune cells that are continually scanning the skin for injury. With the use of several skin substitutes, skin healing success rates for different injuries have dramatically risen.
