Preface Regenerative medicine and especially skin tissue engineering approaches are considered to be the most innovative advancements to the treatment of skin conditions and large wounds originating from traumas, burns, or other devastating skin diseases. The aim of this Methods in Molecular Biology volume is to provide 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 chapters are 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 s
