Abstract :
Context: Skin damage is one of the most common injuries that occur daily for millions around the world. Considering this high
prevalence, developing new methods of cells and stem cell administration for healing injured skin is necessary.We discuss different
new methods of stem cell and cell administration for repairing injured skin, such as skin stem cell gun, scaffolds, hydrogels, and
autologous keratinocytes sheets.
Evidence Acquisition: Many approaches are available in injured skin healing, such as traditional therapy, transplanting, cell therapy,
and stem cell therapy. Skin grafting is still a standard solution to treat patients; however, there are a lot of limitations in this
procedure, for example, patients with severe burns have an insufficient skin area for grafting, which is a painful procedure.
Results: Although cell therapy approaches dissolve scarring and reduce healing time, considering its high cost, they are not used
in everyday society. This article discusses different regenerative dermatology products and compares them with each other.
Conclusions: Herein, we introduced several examples of skin cell products in the pharmaceutics market. Although these products
are not wellknownandevensomeof themdidn’t reach clinical trials, comparing different kinds of skin engineered products reveals
appropriate guidelines for their use and entrance to dermatology market.
