Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived components are emerging sources for the engineering of
biomaterials that are capable of inducing desirable cell-specific responses. This review …

Cartilage matrix is a promising material for cartilage regeneration given the evidence
supporting its chondroinductive character. The “raw materials” of cartilage matrix can serve …

The large number of coronary artery bypass procedures necessitates development of off-the-
shelf vascular grafts that do not require cell or tissue harvest from patients. However …

Over the past few decades, small intestinal submucosa (SIS), a naturally occurring
decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM), has attracted much attention in tissue repair …

Skeletal muscle is an ideal target for cell therapy. The use of its potent stem cell population
in the form of autologous intramuscular transplantation represents a tantalizing strategy to …

Significance: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is known to be deficient in chronic wounds.
Collagen is the major protein in the ECM. Many claims are made while extolling the virtues …

Allogeneic organ transplantation remains the ultimate solution for end-stage organ failure.
Yet, the clinical application is limited by the shortage of donor organs and the need for …

The urinary bladder is a complex organ with the primary functions of storing urine under low
and stable pressure and micturition. Many clinical conditions can cause poor bladder …

Decellularisation of skeletal muscle provides a system to study the interactions of myoblasts
with muscle extracellular matrix (ECM). This study describes the efficient decellularisation of …

Significance: Chronic wounds are a prevalent and costly problem in the United States.
Improved treatments are needed to heal these wounds and prevent serious complications …
