The scaffolds play an important role in providing growth

multiplication and metabolization environment for cells in skin tissue engineering. The scaffolds also guide tissue regeneration and control the structure of tissue as templates. To explore the ideal scaffold

materials is one of the popular studies on current skin tissue engineering. Thus

the research progress of the skin tissue engineering scaffolds in recent years was reviewed. It included three categories: natural scaffolds

synthetic scaffolds and composite scaffolds. The preparation and application of these scaffolds were also discussed

with analysis on some problems existing in skin tissue engineering scaffolds and its developing trend in the future.
