The book "Function-oriented bioengineered skin equivalents - Continuous development towards complete skin replication" aims to provide potential readers with a comprehensive summary of the available information on various in vitro skin models, from historical background to different modeling approaches and their applications.

Particular emphasis is placed on presenting the current technological components available for the development of engineered skin equivalents by summarizing advances in cell cultivation, materials science, and bioengineering. Using examples of the current state-of-art, we describe the advantages, limitations, and challenges of developing in vitro skin models for successful use in clinical applications and skin-related research.

The book is organized into five chapters, each covering a specific aspect of in vitro skin modeling. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the historical background and development of in vitro skin models. Chapter 2 discusses the different modeling approaches used in in vitro skin modeling, including cell culture, tissue engineering, and 3D printing. Chapter 3 explores the applications of in vitro skin models in drug discovery, cosmetics, and wound healing. Chapter 4 discusses the technical aspects of developing engineered skin equivalents, including cell cultivation, materials selection, and bioreactors. Chapter 5 summarizes the current state-of-art and future directions in in vitro skin modeling.

In conclusion, the book "Function-oriented bioengineered skin equivalents - Continuous development towards complete skin replication" is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in in vitro skin modeling. It provides a comprehensive overview of the available information on various in vitro skin models, their applications, and the technological components required for their development. By presenting examples of the current state-of-art and discussing the advantages, limitations, and challenges of developing in vitro skin models, the book aims to facilitate the translation of in vitro research into clinical applications and skin-related research.
