The use of fibroblast and keratinocyte cultures in burns treatment

摘要

This experimental study examined the use of semisynthetic, autologous, engineered and biocompatible skin substitutes in bum patients. These biomaterials are used as dermal and epidermal grafts in extensive or deep burns in order to improve healing by means of a repair process that is as physiological as possible. The latest techniques of bioengineering help to improve therapy, long-term prognosis, and the quality of life of seriously burned patients.
