Effect of Low-Temperature Plasma Jet on Thermal Stability and Physical Structure of Type I Collagen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This work is devoted to the characterization of type I collagen treated by a low-temperature plasma jet generated in ambient air to determine whether the resulting fibrous material is structurally preserved or reinforced.

Systematic in vitro comparison of decellularization protocols for blood vessels.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Decellularization of native blood vessels is a promising technology to generate 3D biological scaffolds for vascular grafting. Blood vessel decellularization has been performed in previous studies under various experimental conditions, that complicates ...

Easy-to-Assembly System for Decellularization and Recellularization of Liver Grafts in a Bioreactor

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
Decellularization of organs creates an acellular scaffold, ideal for being repopulated by cells. In this work, a low-cost perfusion system was created to be used in the process of liver decellularization and as a bioreactor after recellularization.

Bioreactor Processed Stromal Cell Seeding and Cultivation on Decellularized Pericardium Patches for Cardiovascular Use

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
(1) Background: Decellularized xenogeneic tissues are promising matrices for developing tissue-engineered cardiovascular grafts. In vitro recellularization of these tissues with stromal cells can provide a better in vivo remodelling and a lower ...

Regeneration and Experimental Orthotopic Transplantation of a Bioengineered Kidney [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Over 100,000 individuals in the United States currently await kidney transplantation, while 400,000 individuals live with end-stage kidney disease requiring hemodialysis. The creation of a transplantable graft to permanently replace kidney function would

Histologically Confirmed Recellularization is a Key Factor that Affects Meniscal Healing in Immature and Mature Meniscal Tears

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Healing outcomes of meniscal repair are better in younger than in older. However, exact mechanisms underlying superior healing potential in younger remain unclear from a histological perspective.
