Background: Traditional tissue-engineered skin does not produce a satisfactory long-term result because it lacks natural skin pigmentation and leads to discolored cosmetically unpleasing skin that only functions to cover the body of patients. Additionally, the cell sources for tissue-engineered skin are generally derived from normal skin, which is often limited in patients with skin defects.
