Breathing, being predominantly an automatic action, is often taken for granted. However,
respiratory diseases affect millions of people globally, emerging as one of the major causes …

While tissue engineering holds significant potential to address current limitations in
reconstructive surgery of the head and neck, few constructs have made their way into routine …

We tested composite tracheal grafts (CTG) composed of a partially decellularized tracheal
graft (PDTG) combined with a 3-dimensional (3D)-printed airway splint for use in long …

Decellularized tracheal scaffolds offer a potential solution for the repair of long-segment
tracheal defects. However, complete decellularization of trachea is complicated by tracheal …

The ideal construct for tracheal replacement remains elusive in the management of long
segment airway defects. Tissue engineered tracheal grafts (TETG) have been limited by the …

Objectives/Hypothesis Tissue‐engineered tracheal grafts (TETGs) offer a potential solution
for repair of long‐segment airway defects. However, preclinical and clinical TETGs have …

Objective Composite tracheal grafts (CTG) combining decellularized scaffolds with external
biomaterial support have been shown to support host‐derived neotissue formation. In this …

Tracheal stenosis and defects occur congenitally and in patients who have undergone
tracheal intubation and tracheostomy due to long-term intensive care. Such issues may also …

Objective Decellularized tracheal grafts possess the biological cues necessary for tissue
regeneration. However, conventional decellularization approaches to target the removal of …

Objectives/Hypothesis Partially decellularized tracheal scaffolds have emerged as a
potential solution for long‐segment tracheal defects. These grafts have exhibited …
