Genetically Modified Human Keratinocytes Overexpressing PDGF-A Enhance the Performance of a Composite Skin Graft
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
Skin loss due to burns and ulcers is a major medical problem. Bioengineered skin substitutes that use cultured keratinocytes as an epidermal layer with or without analogues of the dermis are one strategy for skin repair. However, none can achieve definitive wound closure, function, or cosmesis comparable to split-thickness autografts. Moreover, autograft donor sites, which require time to heal, may be limited or...
