In 2016 the American Burn Association held a State of the Science conference to
help identify burn research priorities for the next decade. The current paper
summarizes the work of the sub-committee on Burn Wound Healing and Tissue
Engineering. We first present the priorities in wound healing research over the
next 10 years. We then summarize the current state of the science related to burn
wound healing and tissue engineering including determination of burn depth,
limiting burn injury progression, eschar removal, management of microbial
contamination and wound infection, measuring wound closure, accelerating wound
healing and durable wound closure, and skin substitutes and tissue engineering.
Finally, a summary of the round table discussion is presented.
