Abstract

Wound repairs represent a significant area of research within the field of dermatology, and the population affected by skin wounds is increasing year by year globally. Traditional treatment methods often utilize skin substitutes to repair wounds, which may cause issues such as low efficiency, complex operations, and high recurrence rates. Currently, biological 3D printing is applied in skin wound repair due to its unique advantages. This study reviews the basic methods of biological 3D printing, biological inks, and their applications in skin wounds. This study aims to promote the broader application of biological 3D printing technology in skin clinics by analyzing existing research applications to identify the limitations of this technology, also to clarify future development directions, focusing on the innovation of bioprinting technology and the research on biological inks.
