SkinTERM Policy Brief: Advancing Regenerative Skin Therapies in Europe for Wound Care

The SkinTERM project has made significant advances in the field of regenerative skin therapies. By exploring novel biomaterials, cell-based skin substitutes, and human skin organoids, the project has laid the scientific and technological foundation for next-generation treatments that go beyond wound closure to promote true skin regeneration, including restoration of pigmentation, sensation, and thermoregulation.These innovations have the potential to dramatically improve outcomes for patients suffering from burns, chronic wounds, and post-surgical problems - while also reducing the long-term healthcare costs associated with complications, hospital stays, and secondary treatments.
