Cover Story: Several natural and synthetic polymers have been tested and their benefits for skin regeneration have been proven. To understand the mode of action, several researchers investigated the cell–matrix interaction and possible signaling mechanism in skin regeneration. Not only the signaling mechanism but also the mode of cell communication determines the application of polymers in practice. In this review, we discuss the most recent possible cell matrix communication between cells and polymers derived from polysaccharide-based (such as cellulose, hyaluronan, chitosan, alginate, agar) and protein-based (such as collagen, gelatin, fibrin, and silk fibroin) materials along with other synthetic polymers, such as poly(vinyl alcohol), polyglycolide, poly(glycolic acid), or poly(lactic acid) in skin regeneration. View this paper
