[Research advances on skin sweat gland regeneration induced by stem cells and tissue engineering].

As the largest organ in mammals, skin is the first protective barrier against external stimuli. Sweat glands are one of the important cutaneous appendages and play an important role in maintaining electrolyte balance and regulating body temperature. Patients with extensive deep burns usually suffer from damage to deep dermis or the entire skin layer. The damaged sweat glands are difficult to repair and even unable to regenerate, which seriously affects patients' sweating and thermo-regulation function, reduces patients' quality of lives. How to achieve the functionalization of sweat glands has become one of the important researches in regenerative medicine of damaged skin. This review summarizes the translational and application technology of sweat gland regeneration and repair using stem cells and tissue engineering, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the research of sweat gland regeneration.
