We conducted a critical evaluation of decellularization techniques, quality control, cross‐linking, and modification methods for dECM scaffolds derived from different sources. The functional properties of dECM components as well as their recent applications in multi‐organ tissue engineering and biomedicine were thoroughly reviewed.

Coadsorption of Copper and Sulfate on Au(111) Electrodes: Monte Carlo Simulation of a Lattice-Gas Model [PDF]
We report ground-state calculations and Monte Carlo simulations for a lattice-gas model of the underpotential deposition of copper on Au(111) in sulfate-containing electrolytes. In a potential range of approximately 100$\sim$150 mV, this system exhibits a $(\sqrt3\!\times\!\sqrt3)$ mixed phase with 2/3 monolayer (ML) copper and 1/3 ML sulfate.

Decellularized Cell‐Secreted Extracellular Matrices as Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a naturally secreted biomaterial scaffold that provides support and regulates key aspects of cell behavior. This review describes the bioactive properties of ECM, current strategies to decellularize cell‐secreted and tissue‐derived ECM, standard fabrication techniques for ECM constructs, and current developments in the

Correlations between Chondroitin Sulfate Physicochemical Properties and its in-vitro Absorption and Anti-inflammatory Activity [PDF]
Here, we investigated the influence of physicochemical characteristics of chondroitin sulfate (CS) on its in vitro absorption and anti-inflammatory activity. We used eight different synthetic and natural CS samples with a range of molecular weights (7-35 kDa) and sulfation patterns.

Effect of pH, surface charge and counter-ions on the adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate to the sapphire/solution interface [PDF]
The role of ionic interactions between sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, and sapphire surfaces have been studied using specular neutron reflection to determine the structure and composition of adsorbed surfactant layers. Increasing the pH of the solution from 3 to 9 reduces the adsorption by reversing the charge of the alumina.

Toward Improving Understanding of the Structure and Biophysics of Glycosaminoglycans [PDF]
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are the linear carbohydrate components of proteoglycans (PGs) that mediate PG bioactivities, including signal transduction, tissue morphogenesis, and matrix assembly. To understand GAG function, it is important to understand GAG
