Abstract: Advances in tissue bioengineering, such as the development of biologically useful cells, tissue, and organs, are expected to revolutionise the practice of medicine.1 Living skin equivalent (LSE), a bioengineered skin, is composed of an epidermis and dermis made of type I bovine collagen and cultured allogeneic cells (keratinocytes and fibroblasts) isolated from human neonatal foreskin. In controlled studies, LSE improved healing in venous ulcers2 and in open studies it seemed to improve healing in thermal burns and acute wounds created by excision of skin cancer.
