Reproduction of different tissues using scaffolds and materials is a major element in
regenerative medicine. The regeneration of whole organs with decellularized extracellular …

Vascular in situ tissue engineering (TE) is an approach that uses bioresorbable grafts to
induce endogenous regeneration of damaged blood vessels. The evaluation of newly …

Stem cell research provides promising strategies in improving healthcare for human beings.
As a noninvasively obtained and easy‐to‐culture cell resource with relatively low expense …

Several congenital and acquired conditions may result in severe narrowing of the urethra in
men, which represent an ongoing surgical challenge and a significant burden on both health …

Urethral strictures are common in urology; however, the reconstruction of long urethral
strictures remains challenging. There are still unavoidable limitations in the clinical …

Surgical correction of urethral strictures by substitution urethroplasty—the use of grafts or
flaps to correct the urethral narrowing—remains one of the most challenging procedures in …

Urethral stricture is a common urinary tract disorder in men that can be caused by iatrogenic
causes, trauma, inflammation, or infection and often requires reconstructive surgery. The …

Tissue engineering is an emerging field of research that initially aimed to produce 3D
tissues to bypass the lack of adequate tissues for the repair or replacement of deficient …

Purpose The purpose of this review is to assess the potential role of tissue engineering for
urethral reconstruction. It is well-recognised that urethrotomy remains the first-line therapy in …

This study addresses a crucial gap in the literature by characterising the relationship
between urethral tissue mechanics, composition and gross structure. We then utilise these …
