In the field of tissue engineering, new forms of materials for oesophageal reconstruction are
being utilized. Specifically, scaffolds derived from the decellularised extracellular matrix …

Removal of malignant tissue in patients with oesophageal cancer and replacement with
autologous grafts from the stomach and colon can lead to problems. The need to reduce …

The use of biocompatible materials for circumferential esophageal reconstruction is a
technically challenging task in rats and requires an optimal implant technique with nutritional …

To produce an esophageal scaffold with suitable features and evaluate the result of in vivo
cell seeding after its implantation in the omentum and near its original anatomical position in …

We manufactured an esophageal prosthesis made of a collagen sponge supported by an
inner silicone tube. The collagen was derived from porcine skin and was crosslinked by …

Esophageal atresia occurs in 1 out of 3000 births. Current treatments involve esophageal
replacement by using more distal parts of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach …

This study evaluated the ability of biodegradable implants fabricated from polymers and co-
polymers of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA) to induce regeneration of …

A tissue engineered oesophagus could overcome limitations associated with oesophageal
substitution. Combining decellularized scaffolds with patient-derived cells shows promise for …

The gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) plays a critical role in preventing reflux of stomach
contents into the esophagus and airways, but currently there are no options for replacement …

The mortality rate from esophageal disease like atresia, carcinoma, tracheoesophageal
fistula, etc. is increasing rapidly all over the world. Traditional therapies such as surgery …
