Extrusion-based bioprinting (EBB) holds potential for regenerative medicine. However, the widely-used bioinks of EBB exhibit some limitations for skin regeneration, such as unsatisfactory bio-physical (i.e., mechanical, structural, biodegradable) properties and compromised cellular compatibilities, and the EBB-based bioinks with therapeutic effects targeting cutaneous wounds still remain largely undiscussed. In this review, the printability considerations for skin bioprinting were discussed. Then, current strategies for improving the physical properties of bioinks and for reinforcing bioinks in EBB approaches were introduced, respectively. Notably, we highlighted the applications and effects of current EBB-based bioinks on wound healing, wound scar formation, vascularization and the regeneration of skin appendages (i.e., sweat glands and hair follicles) and discussed the challenges and future perspectives. This review aims to provide an overall view of the applications, challenges and promising solutions about the EBB-based bioinks for cutaneous wound healing and skin regeneration.
