title: [Artificial skin cultured in vitro].
abstract: Artificial skin is a kind of skin which by using tissue engineering techniques, a skin-like material was formed by seeding epithelium cells and dermis fibroblasts on a good biocompatible material after proliferation. The trauma restoration and reconstruction were achieved by transplanting the skin graft an skin defects after the artificial skin graft cultured in vitro. Artificial skin research is a new active field in tissue engineering. It has wonderful prospect for clinics to radically settle the problem of restoration of skin defects. The recent studies on the models, cultured methods and influenced factors for epithium culture, dermis culture and artificial skin in vitro were reviewed in this paper.
