Full-thickness skin wounds caused by severe injuries or burns are a substantial clinical challenge in the United States, affecting nearly half a million people annually and costing billions of dollars to treat.

According to a recent Interesting Engineering article, scientists from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have successfully developed bioprinted skin that mimics the properties of natural human skin.
