Objective To review the latest research progress of full-thickness tissue engineered skin (FTTES), to thoroughly understand its current state of research and appl ication so as to lay a sol id foundation for developing new type FTTES and improving the qual ity of skin substitutes. Methods Domestical and international l iterature concerning FTTES in recent years was extensively reviewed and comprehensively analyzed. Results Some progress of FTTES had made in seedcells, scaffold materials and construction, and some therapeutic efficacy had also been achieved in cl inical appl ication. ButFTTES grafting successful rate was lower, and it had no complete skin structure and had not reached the requirements of cl inicalappl ication. Conclusion FTTES is an ideal skin substitute and has great development prospects. However, in seed cells, scaffold materials, construction and appl ications of FTTES, further studied is still needed.
