The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network with multiple functions, including
specific functions during tissue regeneration. Precisely, the properties of the ECM have been …

Mesh use in surgical breast reconstruction is becoming increasingly common; however,
there is still no consensus on whether synthetic matrices or biological matrices produce the …

Human cholangiocyte organoids are promising for regenerative medicine applications, such
as repair of damaged bile ducts. However, organoids are typically cultured in mouse tumor …

Background: Acellular dermal matrix has gained widespread acceptance in immediate
expander/implant reconstruction because of perceived benefits, including improved …

Background Although the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has increased exponentially,
debates regarding its safety are still ongoing. There have been several meta-analyses; …

Background: Seroma, as a complication of prosthetic breast reconstruction, results in patient
distress, increased office visits, undesirable aesthetic outcomes, and—importantly—may …

Background: The practice of breast reconstruction continues to evolve with the introduction
of new technologies. The authors describe a unique approach allowing immediate direct-to …

Decellularized tissues, in which the extracellular matrix is isolated, have broad applications
as implantable biomaterials and/or biological scaffolds for tissue repair, and show good …

Background: Women undergoing implant-based reconstruction (IBR) after mastectomy for
breast cancer have numerous options, including timing of IBR relative to radiation and …

Background Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) may improve outcomes in implant-based breast
reconstruction (IBBR). The aim of this study was critically to appraise and evaluate the …
