In the civilian population, there are approximately 500,000 burn injuries requiring treatment each year. Autografts and commercially available skin products are limited in size and some require a lengthy preparation time, making them unusable in severe cases that require prompt and aggressive measures to maintain the lives of wounded patients. Moreover, patient survival is inversely proportional to the amount of time required to cover and stabilize a wound. Therefore, a new approach that permits immediate burn wound stabilization with functional recovery is necessary. We propose a novel treatment that would repair burn wounds <italic>in situ</italic> by using cartridge-based bioprinting to precisely deliver skin cells in a controlled manner in a wound. en Wake Forest University bioprinting regenerative medicine skin In situ bioprinting of the skin Dissertation Yoo, James J Soker, Shay Lively, Mark Holmes, James H Walker, Stephen Molecular Genetics & Genomics 2012-07-14 open.access
