Schematics of the experimental design and objectives in the perfusion decellularization assessment. Decellularization of tissues for regenerative medicine applications, such as cartilage repair, is ...

University of Minnesota researchers have created a beating heart in the laboratory. By using a process called whole organ decellularization, scientists from the University of Minnesota Center for ...

The use of tissues with cells previously removed (decellularized) is gaining traction in tissue engineering research. These decellularized grafts serve as a scaffold for new cells to grow in an ...

Currently over 6,300 people in the UK are waiting for an organ transplant, and sadly everyday around three people die waiting. In efforts to reduce the reliance on organ donors and improve the outlook ...
