This volume provides protocols describing the isolation and culture of diverse cell types
stemming from the skin and the use of these cells and cell constructs for wound healing
bioengineering applications and translational medicine purposes. The book is divided into
three sections describing the isolation and culture of diverse skin cells managing these cells
within co-culture systems and skin models as well as using these skin models in a test
setting. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series chapters
include introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents
step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical Skin Tissue Engineering: Methods and
Protocols serves as a vital aid to basic and clinical researchers such as biologists
physicians and biomedical engineers working with and being interested in basic science and
clinically and laboratory-applicable translational regenerative medicine.
