The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic and intricate microenvironment with excellent
biophysical, biomechanical, and biochemical properties, which can directly or indirectly …

Whole-organ decellularization and tissue engineering approaches have made significant
inroads during recent years. If proven to be successful and clinically viable, it is highly likely …

Background Here, we describe a novel method of processing decellularized nerve grafts
using osmotic effects of hypotonic and hypertonic solutions and Triton X-100 (a nonionic …

The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of preparing a decellularized valve
scaffold with methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)–poly (ε-caprolactone)(MPEG–PCL). This is the …

One choice could be a mechanical valve, with the aim of providing lifetime durability.
However, the era of purely artificial valve prostheses composed of rigid components is …

The use of allografts and xenografts in soft tissue repair has grown dramatically over the
past several decades driven by dissatisfaction with existing products, a favorable regulatory …

Numerous biologic meshes exist for soft tissue repair applications such as hernia
repair/abdominal wall reconstruction. These materials can be classified based on the …

Первые успешные протезирования аортального и митрального клапанов сердца были
выполнены в 1960 г. соответственно D. Harken и N. Braunwald. В обоих случаях …

Peripheral nerve injuries can lead to a major loss of function and affect quality of life. Current
autologous treatments and commercially available products such as nerve guide conduits …

The first successful aortic and mitral valve replacement was performed, respectively, by D.
Harken and N. Braunwald in 1960. Both used mechanical grafts, but 10 years later M …
