Abstract
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is an essential protective but vulnerable fibrocartilage. Their high mechanical strength is vital in absorbing loads, reducing friction, and protecting the condylar surface. Many diseases can lead to the destruction or degeneration of the mechanical function of the TMJ disc. Unfortunately, conservative treatment is ineffective in restoring the defective mechanical properties of the discs. Tissue engineering has been investigated as a promising alternative treatment approach to approximate the properties of native tissue. However, it is difficult for tissue-engineered discs to obtain sufficient mechanical properties. Several approaches have been proposed to improve the mechanical properties of tissue-engineered constructs. In this review, we summarized the mechanical properties of native TMJ discs and discussed the current mechanical testing methods. We then summarized the current advances in improving the mechanical properties of TMJ disc tissue-engineered constructs. Moreover, existing challenges and outbreak directions are discussed. This review assists future research in better understanding the mechanical properties of both native and tissue-engineered TMJ discs. It provides new insights into future mechanical property enhancement for TMJ disc tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biomaterial choice is an essential step during the development tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) applications. The selected biomaterial must present properties allowing the physiological-like recapitulation of several processes that lead to the reestablishment of homeostatic tissue or organ function. Biomaterials derived from the extracellular matrix (ECM) present many such properties and their use in the field has been steadily increasing. Considering this growing importance, it becomes imperative to provide a comprehensive overview of ECM biomaterials, encompassing their sourcing, processing, and integration into TERM applications. This review compiles the main strategies used to isolate and process ECM-derived biomaterials as well as different techniques used for its characterization, namely biochemical and chemical, physical, morphological, and biological. Lastly, some of their applications in the TERM field are explored and discussed.

Abstract
Three-dimensional bioprinting is an emerging technology that has high potential application in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Increasing advancement and improvement in the decellularization process have led to an increase in the demand for using a decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) to fabricate tissue engineered products. Decellularization is the process of retaining the extracellular matrix (ECM) while the cellular components are completely removed to harvest the ECM for the regeneration of various tissues and across different sources. Post decellularization of tissues and organs, they act as natural biomaterials to provide the biochemical and structural support to establish cell communication. Selection of an effective method for decellularization is crucial, and various factors like tissue density, geometric organization, and ECM composition affect the regenerative potential which has an impact on the end product. The dECM is a versatile material which is added as an important ingredient to formulate the bioink component for constructing tissue and organs for various significant studies. Bioink consisting of dECM from various sources is used to generate tissue-specific bioink that is unique and to mimic different biometric microenvironments. At present, there are many different techniques applied for decellularization, and the process is not standardized and regulated due to broad application. This review aims to provide an overview of different decellularization procedures, and we also emphasize the different dECM-derived bioinks present in the current global market and the major clinical outcomes. We have also highlighted an overview of benefits and limitations of different decellularization methods and various characteristic validations of decellularization and dECM-derived bioinks.

Soft Biomimetic Approach for the Development of Calcinosis-Resistant Glutaraldehyde-Fixed Biomaterials for Cardiovascular Surgery. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:357.

Abstract
Pathological aseptic calcification is the most common form of structural valvular degeneration (SVD), leading to premature failure of heart valve bioprostheses (BHVs). The processing methods used to obtain GA-fixed pericardium-based biomaterials determine the hemodynamic characteristics and durability of BHVs. This article presents a comparative study of the effects of several processing methods on the degree of damage to the ECM of GA-fixed pericardium-based biomaterials as well as on their biostability, biocompatibility, and resistance to calcification. Based on the assumption that preservation of the native ECM structure will enable the creation of calcinosis-resistant materials, this study provides a soft biomimetic approach for the manufacture of GA-fixed biomaterials using gentle decellularization and washing methods. It has been shown that the use of soft methods for preimplantation processing of materials, ensuring maximum preservation of the intactness of the pericardial ECM, radically increases the resistance of biomaterials to calcification. These obtained data are of interest for the development of new calcinosis-resistant biomaterials for the manufacture of BHVs.

Abstract
Reinforced biphasic scaffolds were fabricated with based materials design of anatomical mimicking and evaluated to identify the certain application for maxillofacial surgery. The scaffolds created the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with a percentage of gelatin of 5% and were coated with polycaprolactone (PCL) that a different number of cycles 0, 1, 5, 10, and 15 cycles (PCL0, PCL1, PCL5, PCL10, and PCL15 were used to fabricate biphasic scaffolds via bubbling and freeze-thawing before reinforce with immersion coating techniques. The structure and morphology of the scaffolds were characterized and observed by a scanning electron microscope, a differential scanning calorimeter, and a thermogravimetric analyzer, respectively. The performance of the scaffolds was tested in terms of their swelling behavior, degradation, and mechanical properties. They were cultured with MC3T3E1 osteoblast cells and L929 fibroblast cells. The main biological performance of cell proliferation was analyzed, and protein synthesis, calcium synthesis, and alkaline phosphatase activity of the scaffolds were studied. Their morphology demonstrated fewer pores when coated with PCL. Mechanical strength of the modified scaffolds increased followed by the cycles of coating with PCL. The scaffolds with more cycle of PCL coating lower swelling and degradability than without PCL coating. They had more thermal stability than the scaffold without PCL coating. The scaffolds with PCL coating demonstrated better bio-functionality to activate cell response than without coating. Finally, the result exhibited that PCL10 provide a suitably reinforced biphasic scaffold with high promise for maxillofacial surgery.

Decellularized-disc based allograft and xenograft prosthesis for the long-term precise reconstruction of temporomandibular joint disc. Acta Biomater 2023; 159:173-187. [PMID: 36708853 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.01.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Currently, no effective disc reconstruction treatment strategy is clinically available for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc-related diseases. To address this, we developed a prosthesis construct with laser-drilled decellularized natural disc reinforced by polycaprolactone, which mimics the natural morphology, and structural, biomechanical and biological property of the TMJ disc. The construct demonstrated good biocompatibility, safety and immunological tolerance both in vitro, and in a rat subcutaneous model. During 6 months implantation in an allogeneic rabbit TMJ disc reconstruction model, the disc prosthesis maintained its integrity, collagen fiber-orientation, mechanical property, joint structural stability and prevented articular cartilage and bone from damage. Furthermore, the "upgraded" disc prosthesis obtained from decellularized porcine disc was implanted into a goat TMJ disc reconstruction model. The xenograft prosthesis, with strength and viscoelasticity similar to a natural TMJ disc, was able to restore the structure and function of TMJ up to 20 weeks. These results demonstrate the translational feasibility of an allogeneic or xenogeneic decellularized disc prosthesis for treatment of advanced TMJ disc-related diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study makes a significant contribution to TMJ disc disease treatment both in theory and in clinics, because: (1) it provided an innovative approach to prepare an artificial TMJ disc with decent mechanical properties and long-term condyle-protecting effect; (2) it specified an advanced decellularized method for fibrocartilage decellularization and xenograft application; (3) it developed a facile and reproducible TMJ disc reconstruction model not only for middle size animal but also for large animal study; (4) the comprehensive and unreported biomechanical tests on the natural TMJ discs would act as a valuable reference for further research in the field of artificial TMJ disc materials or TMJ disc tissue engineering; (5) it suggested a potential treatment for patients with severe TMJ diseases that were commonly met but difficult to treat in clinics.

Assessing the biocompatibility of bovine tendon scaffold, a step forward in tendon tissue engineering. Cell Tissue Bank 2023; 24:11-24.

Abstract
Tendon is a collagen-enriched, tough, and intricately arranged connective tissue that connects muscle to the bone and transmits forces, resulting in joint movement. High mechanical demands can affect normal tissues and may lead to severe disorders, which usually require replacement of the damaged tendon. In recent decades, various decellularization methods have been studied for tissue engineering applications. One of the major challenges in tendon decellularization is preservation of the tendon extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture to maintain natural tissue characteristics. The aim of the present study was to create a decellularized bovine Achilles tendon scaffold to investigate its cytocompatibility with seeded hAd-MSCs (human adipose derived-mesenchymal stem cells) and blastema tissue in vitro. Here, we describe a reliable procedure to decellularize bovine Achilles tendon using a combination of physical and chemical treatments including repetitive freeze-thaw cycles and the ionic detergent SDS, respectively. The decellularization effectiveness and cytocompatibility of the tendon scaffolds were verified by histological studies and scanning electron microscopy for up to 30 days after culture. Histological studies revealed hAd-MSC attachment and penetration into the scaffolds at 5, 10, 15 and 20 days of culture. However, a decrease in cell number was observed on days 25 and 30 after culture in vitro. Moreover, migration of the blastema tissue cells into the scaffold were shown at 10 to 25 days post culture, however, destruction of the scaffolds and reduction in cell number were observed on 30th day after culture. Our results suggest that this decellularization protocol is an effective and biocompatible procedure which supports the maintenance and growth of both hAd-MSCs and blastema cells, and thus might be promising for tendon tissue engineering.

Abstract
Decellularization of natural tissues to produce extracellular matrix is a promising method for three-dimensional scaffolding and for understanding microenvironment of the tissue of interest. Due to the lack of a universal standard protocol for tissue decellularization, recent investigations seek to develop novel methods for whole or partial organ decellularization capable of supporting cell differentiation and implantation towards appropriate tissue regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive and updated perspective on the most recent advances in decellularization strategies for a variety of organs and tissues, highlighting techniques of chemical, physical, biological, enzymatic, or combinative-based methods to remove cellular contents from tissues. In addition, the review presents modernized approaches for improving standard decellularization protocols for numerous organ types.

Abstract
Current treatments for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc dysfunctions are not fully effective and lack regenerative capacity. Therefore, the search for tissue-engineered materials for TMJ disc substitution is critical to fill this gap. Decellularization presents tremendous potential, as it is possible to obtain an extracellular matrix with an adequate biomechanical structure and biochemical components. However, its application to the TMJ disc is still in progress, since there are few studies in the literature, and those that exist have many gaps in terms of characterisation, which is decisive to ensure its success. Ultimately, we intend to emphasize the importance of the decellularization technique for the development of an engineered TMJ disc.

Abstract
Reproduction of different tissues using scaffolds and materials is a major element in regenerative medicine. The regeneration of whole organs with decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) has remained a goal despite the use of these materials for different purposes. Recently, decellularization techniques have been widely used in producing scaffolds that are appropriate for regenerating damaged organs and may be able to overcome the shortage of donor organs. Decellularized ECM offers several advantages over synthetic compounds, including the preserved natural microenvironment features. Different decellularization methods have been developed, each of which is appropriate for removing cells from specific tissues under certain conditions. A variety of methods have been advanced for evaluating the decellularization process in terms of cell removal efficiency, tissue ultrastructure preservation, toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical resistance in order to enhance the efficacy of decellularization methods. Modification techniques improve the characteristics of decellularized scaffolds, making them available for the regeneration of damaged tissues. Moreover, modification of scaffolds makes them appropriate options for drug delivery, disease modeling, and improving stem cells growth and proliferation. However, considering different challenges in the way of decellularization methods and application of decellularized scaffolds, this field is constantly developing and progressively moving forward. This review has outlined recent decellularization and sterilization strategies, evaluation tests for efficient decellularization, materials processing, application, and challenges and future outlooks of decellularization in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Abstract
The use of processed nerve allografts as an alternative to autologous nerve grafts, the gold standard treatment for peripheral nerve defects, is increasing. However, it is not widely used in Korea due to cost and insurance issues. Moreover, the main detergent used in the conventional Hudson method is unavailable. Therefore, a new nerve allograft decellularization process is needed. We aimed to compare the traditional Hudson method with a novel decellularization process that may remove cellular content more efficiently while preserving the extracellular matrix (ECM) structure using low concentration sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nuclease. After each decellularization process, DNA content was measured in nerve tissue. Masson's trichrome staining and scanning electron microscopy were performed to determine the state of preservation of the ECM. A significantly greater amount of DNA content was removed in the novel method, and the ECM structure was preserved in both methods. For the in vivo study, a 15-mm long sciatic nerve defect was created in two groups of Sprague-Dawley rats, and processed nerve allografts decellularized using the Hudson or novel method were transplanted. Functional and histological recovery results were measured 12 weeks post-transplantation. Ankle contracture angle, maximal isometric tetanic force of the tibialis anterior (TA), and the TA mass were compared between the groups, as well as the percent neural tissue (100 × neural area/intrafascicular area). There was no significant difference in functional and histological nerve recovery between the methods. The novel method is appropriate for developing a processed nerve allograft.

Abstract
Thermal injuries may cause significant damage to large areas of the skin. Extensive and deep burn wounds require specialized therapy. The optimal method in the strategy of treating extensive, full thickness burns (III°) is the use of autologous split thickness skin grafts STSG (Busuioc et al. Rom J Morphol Embryol 4:1061-1067, 2012; Kitala D, Kawecki M, Klama-Baryła A, Łabuś W, Kraut M, Glik J, Ryszkiel I, Kawecki MP, Nowak M.

The main limitation of that method is the inadequate amount of healthy, undamaged skin (donor sites), which could be harvested and used as a graft. Moreover, donor sites are an additional wounds that require analgesic therapy, leave scars during the healing process and they are highly susceptible to infection (1-6). It must be emphasized that in terms of the treatment of severe, deep and extensive burns, and there should be no doubt that the search for a biocompatible skin substitute that would be able to replace autologous STSG is an absolute priority. The above-mentioned necessitates the search for new treatment methods of severe burn wounds. Such methods could consider the preparation and application of bioengineered, natural skin substitutes. At present, as the clinical standard considered by the physicians may be use of available biological skin substitutes, e.g., human allogeneic skin, in vitro cultured skin cells, acellular dermal matrix ADM and revitalized ADMs, etc. (Busuioc et al.

Abstract
The immune response of the host towards a decellularized scaffold is complex. Not only can a number of immune cells influence this process, but also the characteristics, preparation and modification of the decellularized scaffold can significantly impact this reaction. Such factors can, together or alone, trigger immune cells to polarize towards either a pro-healing or pro-inflammatory direction. In this article, we have comprehensively reviewed factors which may influence the immune response of the host towards a decellularized scaffold, including the source of the biomaterial, biophysical properties or modifications of the scaffolds with bioactive peptides, drugs and cytokines. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism has also been recapitulated.

Abstract
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an important structure for the masticatory system and the pathologies associated with it affect a large part of the population and impair people's lifestyle. It comprises an articular disc, that presents low regeneration capacities and the existing clinical options for repairing it are not effective. This way, it is imperative to achieve a permanent solution to guarantee a good quality of life for people who suffer from these pathologies. Complete knowledge of the unique characteristics of the disc will make it easier to achieve a successful tissue engineering (TE) construct. Thus, the search for an effective, safe and lasting solution has already started, including materials that replace the disc, is currently growing. The search for a solution based on TE approaches, which involve regenerating the disc. The present work revises the TMJ disc characteristics and its associated diseases. The different materials used for a total disc replacement are presented, highlighting the TE area. A special focus on future trends in the field and part of the solution for the TMJ problems described in this review will involve the development of a promising engineered disc approach through the use of decellularized extracellular matrices.

Abstract
Biomaterials have had an increasingly important role in recent decades, in biomedical device design and the development of tissue engineering solutions for cell delivery, drug delivery, device integration, tissue replacement, and more. There is an increasing trend in tissue engineering to use natural substrates, such as macromolecules native to plants and animals to improve the biocompatibility and biodegradability of delivered materials. At the same time, these materials have favourable mechanical properties and often considered to be biologically inert. More importantly, these macromolecules possess innate functions and properties due to their unique chemical composition and structure, which increase their bioactivity and therapeutic potential in a wide range of applications. While much focus has been on integrating these materials into these devices via a spectrum of cross-linking mechanisms, little attention is drawn to residual bioactivity that is often hampered during isolation, purification, and production processes. Herein, we discuss methods of initial material characterisation to determine innate bioactivity, means of material processing including cross-linking, decellularisation, and purification techniques and finally, a biological assessment of retained bioactivity of a final product. This review aims to address considerations for biomaterials design from natural polymers, through the optimisation and preservation of bioactive components that maximise the inherent bioactive potency of the substrate to promote tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Development of novel technologies provides the best tissue constructs engineering and maximizes their therapeutic effects in regenerative therapy, especially for liver dysfunctions. Among the currently investigated approaches of tissue engineering, scaffold-based and scaffold-free tissues are widely suggested for liver regeneration. Analogs of liver acellular extracellular matrix (ECM) are utilized in native scaffolds to increase the self-repair and healing ability of organs. Native ECM analog could improve liver repairing through providing the supportive framework for cells and signaling molecules, exerting normal biomechanical, biochemical, and physiological signal complexes. Recently, innovative cell sheet technology is introduced as an alternative for conventional tissue engineering with the advantage of fewer scaffold restrictions and cell culture on a Thermo-Responsive Polymer Surface. These sheets release the layered cells through a temperature-controlled procedure without enzymatic digestion, while preserving the cell-ECM contacts and adhesive molecules on cell-cell junctions. In addition, several novelties have been introduced into the cell sheet and decellularization technologies to aid cell growth, instruct differentiation/angiogenesis, and promote cell migration. In this review, recent trends, advancements, and issues linked to translation into clinical practice are dissected and compared regarding the decellularization and cell sheet technologies for liver tissue engineering.

Abstract
Decellularized xenografts are an inherent component of regenerative medicine. Their preserved structure, mechanical integrity and biofunctional composition have well established them in reparative medicine for a diverse range of clinical indications. Nonetheless, their performance is highly influenced by their source (ie species, age, tissue) and processing (ie decellularization, crosslinking, sterilization and preservation), which govern their final characteristics and determine their success or failure for a specific clinical target. In this review, we provide an overview of the different sources and processing methods used in decellularized xenografts fabrication and discuss their effect on the clinical performance of commercially available decellularized xenografts.

Abstract
Respiratory function in the horse can be severely compromised by arytenoid chondritis, or arytenoid chondropathy, a pathologic condition leading to deformity and dysfunction of the affected cartilage. Current treatment in cases unresponsive to medical management is removal of the cartilage, which can improve the airway obstruction, but predisposes the patient to other complications like tracheal penetration of oropharyngeal content and dynamic collapse of the now unsupported soft tissue lateral to the cartilage. A tissue engineering approach to reconstructing the arytenoid cartilage would represent a significant advantage in the management of arytenoid chondritis. In this study, we explored if decellularized matrix could potentially be incorporated into the high motion environment of the arytenoid cartilages of horses. Equine arytenoid cartilages were decellularized and a portion of the resultant acellular scaffolds was implanted in a full-thickness defect created in the arytenoids of eight horses. The implantation was performed bilaterally in each horse, with one side randomly selected to receive an implant seeded with autologous bone marrow-derived nucleated cells (BMNCs). Arytenoids structure and function were monitored up to 4 months. In vivo assessments included laryngeal ultrasound, and laryngeal endoscopy at rest and during exercise on a high-speed treadmill. Histologic evaluation of the arytenoids was performed postmortem. Implantation of the cartilaginous graft had no adverse effect on laryngeal respiratory function or swallowing, despite induction of a transient granuloma on the medial aspect of the arytenoids. Ultrasonographic monitoring detected a postoperative increase in the thickness and cross-sectional area of the arytenoid body that receded faster in the arytenoids not seeded with BMNCs. The explanted tissue showed epithelialization of the mucosal surface, integration of the implant into the native arytenoid, with minimal adverse cellular reaction. Remodeling of the scaffold material was evident by 2 months after implantation. Preseeding the scaffold with BMNCs increased the rate of scaffold degradation and incorporation. Replacement of arytenoid portion with a tissue-engineered cartilaginous graft preseeded with BMNCs is surgically feasible in the horse, is well tolerated, and results in appropriate integration within the native tissue, also preventing laryngeal tissue collapse during exercise.

Abstract
Numerous biomedical applications imply supportive materials to improve protective, antibacterial, and regenerative abilities upon surgical interventions, oncotherapy, regenerative medicine, and others. With the increasing variability of the possible sources, the materials of natural origin are among the safest and most accessible biomedical tools. Animal, plant, and fungal tissues can further undergo decellularization to improve their biocompatibility. Decellularized scaffolds lack the most reactive cellular material, nuclear and cytoplasmic components, that predominantly trigger immune responses. At the same time, the outstanding initial three-dimensional microarchitecture, biomechanical properties, and general composition of the scaffolds are preserved. These unique features make the scaffolds perfect ready-to-use platforms for various biomedical applications, implying cell growth and functionalization. Decellularized materials can be repopulated with various cells upon request, including epithelial, endothelial, muscle and neuronal cells, and applied for structural and functional biorepair within diverse biological sites, including the skin and musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind scaffold and host tissue interactions remain not fully understood, which significantly restricts their integration into clinical practice. In this review, we address the essential aspects of decellularization, scaffold preparation techniques, and its biochemical composition and properties, which determine the biocompatibility and immunogenicity of the materials. With the integrated evaluation of the scaffold profile in living systems, decellularized animal, plant, and fungal scaffolds have the potential to become essential instruments for safe and controllable biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biologic scaffold materials composed of allogeneic or xenogeneic extracellular matrix (ECM) are commonly used for the repair and remodeling of injured tissue. The clinical outcomes associated with implantation of ECM-based materials range from unacceptable to excellent. The variable clinical results are largely due to differences in the preparation of the material, including characteristics of the source tissue, the method and efficacy of decellularization, and post-decellularization processing steps. The mechanisms by which ECM scaffolds promote constructive tissue remodeling include mechanical support, degradation and release of bioactive molecules, recruitment and differentiation of endogenous stem/progenitor cells, and modulation of the immune response toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype. The methods of ECM preparation and the impact of these methods on the quality of the final product are described herein. Examples of favorable cellular responses of immune and stem cells associated with constructive tissue remodeling of ECM bioscaffolds are described.

Abstract
Application of tissue-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials in the repair of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is a promising approach for the treatment of disc abrasion and perforation, particularly for the young patient population. Although decellularized ECM (dECM) scaffolds preserve tissue-specific structures as well as biological and biomechanical properties, they require surgical implantation. To address this issue, we prepared porcine TMJ discs into decellularized ECM with serial detergent and enzyme treatments, and the TMJ disc-derived ECM was then processed into hydrogels via pepsin digestion. The decellularization efficiency was assessed by quantification of the DNA and matrix component contents. The fibrous ultrastructure of the hydrogel was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Rheological characterization and mechanical properties were measured. in vitro experiments with costal chondrocytes ensured the cellular proliferative capacity and compatibility in the injectable disc-derived ECM hydrogel. The results showed that a large amount of DNA (>95%) was removed after decellularization; but, the collagen was retained. SEM of the hydrogels demonstrated a multiaperture fiber ultrastructure. Rheological studies revealed a rapid gelation temperature (37°C) and injectable properties. The mechanical properties of the hydrogels were adjusted by changing the ECM concentration. The in vitro studies revealed that the hydrogels are not cytotoxic, but instead showed good cytocompatibility. The hydrogel also showed good injectability and degradability through an in vivo study. Overall, these results suggest the great potential of injectable disc-derived hydrogels for TMJ disc repair and regeneration applications.

Abstract
There has been a recent increase in exploring the use of decellularized plant tissue as a novel "green" material for biomedical applications. As part of this effort, we have developed a technique to decellularize cultured plant cells (tobacco BY-2 cells and rice cells) and tissue (tobacco hairy roots) that uses deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I)). As a proof of concept, all cultured plant cells and tissue were transformed to express recombinant enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) to show that the proteins of interest could be retained within the matrices. Decellularization of lyophilized tobacco BY-2 cells with DNase for 30 min depleted the DNA content from 1503 ± 459 to 31 ± 5 ng/sample. The decellularization procedure resulted in approximately 36% total protein retention (154 ± 60 vs 424 ± 70 μg/sample) and 33% EGFP retention. Similar results for DNA removal and protein retention were observed with the rice cells and tobacco hairy root matrices. When exposed to decellularized BY-2 cell-derived matrices, monolayer cultures of human foreskin fibroblasts (hFFs) maintained or increased metabolic activity, which is an indicator of cell viability. Furthermore, hFFs were able to attach, spread, and proliferate when cultured with the decellularized BY-2 cell-derived matrices in an aggregate model. Overall, these studies demonstrate that cultured plant cells and tissue can be effectively decellularized with DNase I with substantial protein retention. The resulting material has a positive impact on hFF metabolic activity and could be employed to create a three-dimensional environment for cell growth. These results thus show the promise of using naturally derived cellulose matrices from cultured plant cells and tissues for biomedical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caprine skin is a promising biomaterial for tissue-engineering applications. However, tissue processing is required before its xenogenic use. AIMS Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the structural integrity and biocompatibility of the caprine skin after de-epithelialization, using sodium chloride (NaCl) and trypsin solutions, followed by de-cellularization using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. MATERIALS & METHODS The caprine skin was de-epithelialized using NaCl (2-4 mol/L) and trypsin (0.25%-0.5%) followed by the treatment of SDS (1%-4%) solution over a period of time. Acellularity of the prepared matrix was confirmed histologically and characterized by appropriate staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), DNA quantification, and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The caprine acellular dermal matrix (CADM) was used for the repair of spontaneously occurring abdominal hernia in ten buffaloes. The biocompatibility of the CADM was evaluated using clinical, hematological, biochemical, and anti-oxidant parameters. RESULTS Histologically, the skin treated with 0.25% trypsin in 4 mol/L NaCl for 8 hours resulted in complete de-epithelialization. Further treatment with 2% SDS for 48 hours demonstrated complete acellularity and orderly arranged collagen fibers. The SEM confirmed a preservation of collagen arrangement within CADM. The DNA content was significantly (P < .05) lower in CADM (46.20 ± 7.94 ng/mg) as compared to fresh skin (662.56 ± 156.11 ng/mg) indicating effective acellularity. The FTIR spectra showed characteristic collagen peaks of amide A, amide B, amide I, amide II, and amide III in CADM. All the 10 animals recovered uneventfully and remained sound. Hematological, biochemical, and anti-oxidants findings were unremarkable. CONCLUSION Results indicated the acceptance and biocompatibility of the xenogenic caprine acellular dermal matrix for abdominal hernia repair in buffaloes without complications.

Abstract
Collagen is the most widespread extracellular matrix (ECM) protein in the body and is important in maintaining the functionality of organs and tissues. Studies have explored interventions using collagen-targeting tissue engineered techniques, using collagen hybridizing or collagen binding peptides, to target or treat dysregulated or injured collagen in developmental defects, injuries, and diseases. Researchers have used collagen-targeting peptides to deliver growth factors, drugs, and genetic materials, to develop bioactive surfaces, and to detect the distribution and status of collagen. All of these approaches have been used for various regenerative medicine applications, including neovascularization, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. In this review, we describe in depth the collagen-targeting approaches for regenerative therapeutics and compare the benefits of using the different molecules for various present and future applications.

Abstract
Digitalization of health care practices is substantially manifesting itself as an effective tool to diagnose and rectify complex cardiovascular abnormalities. For cardiovascular abnormalities, precise non-invasive imaging interventions are being used to develop patient specific diagnosis and surgical planning. Concurrently, pre surgical 3D simulation and computational modeling are aiding in the effective surgery and understanding of valve biomechanics, respectively. Consequently, 3D printing of patient specific valves that can mimic the original one will become an effective outbreak for valvular problems. Printing of these patient-specific tissues or organ components is becoming a viable option owing to the advances in biomaterials and additive manufacturing techniques. These additive manufacturing techniques are receiving a full-fledged support from burgeoning field of computational fluid dynamics, digital image processing, artificial intelligence, and continuum mechanics during their optimization and implementation. Further, studies at cellular and molecular biomechanics have enriched our understanding of biomechanical factors resulting in valvular heart diseases. Hence, the knowledge generated can guide us during the design and synthesis of biomaterials to develop superior extra cellular matrix, mimicking materials that can be used as a bioink for 3D printing of organs and tissues. With this notion, we have reviewed current opportunities and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of heart valve abnormalities through patient-specific valve design via tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. These valves can replace diseased valves by preserving homogeneity and individuality of the patients.

Abstract
The advancement and improvement in decellularization methods can be attributed to the increasing demand for tissues and organs for transplantation. Decellularized tissues and organs, which are free of cells and genetic materials while retaining the complex ultrastructure of the extracellular matrix (ECM), can serve as scaffolds to subsequently embed cells for transplantation. They have the potential to mimic the native physiology of the targeted anatomic site. ECM from different tissues and organs harvested from various sources have been applied. Many techniques are currently involved in the decellularization process, which come along with their own advantages and disadvantages. This review focuses on recent developments in decellularization methods, the importance and nature of detergents used for decellularization, as well as on the role of the ECM either as merely a physical support or as a scaffold in retaining and providing cues for cell survival, differentiation and homeostasis. In addition, application, status, and perspectives on commercialization of bioproducts derived from decellularized tissues and organs are addressed. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
Due to their natural biochemical and biomechanical characteristics, using ex vivo tissues as platforms for guided tissue regeneration has become widely accepted, however subsequent attachment and integration of these constructs in vivo is often overlooked. A decellularized porcine temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc has shown promise as a scaffold to guide disc regeneration and preliminary work has shown the efficacy of surfactant (SDS) treatment within the fibrocartilaginous disc to remove cellular components. The majority of studies focus on the intermediate region of the disc (or disc proper). Using this approach, inherent attachment tissues can be maintained to improve construct stability and integration within the joint. Unlike human disc attachment tissue, the porcine attachment tissues have high lipid content which would require a different processing approach to remove immunogenic components. In order to examine the effect of delipidation on the attachment tissue properties, SDS and two organic solvent mixtures (acetone/ethanol and chloroform/methanol) were compared. Lipid and cellular solubilization, ECM alteration, and seeded human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) morphology and viability were assessed. Quantitative analysis showed SDS treatments did not effectively delipidate the attachment tissues and cytotoxicity was noted toward MSC in these regions. Acetone/ethanol removed cellular material but not all lipids, while chloroform/methanol removed all visible lipid deposits but residual porcine cells were observed in histological sections. When a combination of approaches was used, no residual lipid or cytotoxicity was noted. Preparing a whole TMJ graft with a combined approach has the potential to improve disc integration within the native joint environment.

Abstract
The temporomandibular joint disk (TMJd) is an extremely dense and avascular fibrocartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM) resulting in a limited regenerative capacity. The use of decellularized TMJd as a biocompatible scaffold to guide tissue regeneration is restricted by innate subcellular porosity of the ECM that hinders cellular infiltration and regenerative events. Incorporation of an artificial microporosity through laser micro-ablation (LMA) can alleviate these cell and diffusion based limitations. In this study, LMA was performed either before or after decellularization to assess to effect of surfactant treatment on porosity modification as well as the resultant mechanical and physical scaffold properties. Under convective flow or agitation schemes, pristine and laser ablated disks were decellularized using either low (0.1% w/v) or high (1% w/v) concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Results show that lower concentrations of SDS minimized collagen degradation and tissue swelling while retaining its capacity to solubilize cellular content. Regardless of processing scheme, laser ablated channels incorporated after SDS treatment were relatively smaller and more uniform than those incorporated before SDS treatment, indicating an altered laser interaction with surfactant treated tissues. Smaller channels correlated with less disruption of native biomechanical properties indicating surfactant pre-treatment is an important consideration when using LMA to produce artificial porosity in ex vivo derived tissues. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The continuous evolution of tissue engineering scaffolds has been driven by the desire to recapitulate structural features and functions of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). However, it is still an extreme challenge to create a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold with both aligned nanofibers and aligned interconnected macrochannels to mimic the ECM of anisotropic tissues. Here, we develop a facile strategy to create such a scaffold composed of oriented nanofibers and interconnected macrochannels in the same direction, with various natural polymers typically used for tissue regeneration. The orientation of nanofibers and interconnected macrochannels can be easily tuned by manipulating ice crystallization. The scaffold demonstrates both structural and functional features similar to the natural ECM of anisotropic tissues. Taking silk fibroin as an example, the scaffold with radially oriented nanofibers and interconnected macrochannels is more efficient for capturing cells and promoting the growth of both nonadherent embryonic dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRGs) and adherent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) compared to the widely used scaffold types. Interestingly, DRGs and neurites on the SF scaffold demonstrate a 3D growth mode similar to that of natural nerve tissues. Furthermore, the coaligned nanofibers and macrochannels of the scaffold can direct HUVECs to assemble into blood vessel-like structures and their collagen deposition in their arrangement direction. The strategy could inspire the design and development of multifunctional 3D scaffolds with desirable structural features for engineering different tissues.

Abstract
Current clinical strategies for bladder reconstruction or substitution are associated to serious problems. Therefore, new alternative approaches are becoming more and more necessary. The purpose of this work is to review the state of the art of the current bioengineering advances and obstacles reported in bladder regeneration. Tissue bladder engineering requires an ideal engineered bladder scaffold composed of a biocompatible material suitable to sustain the mechanical forces necessary for bladder filling and emptying. In addition, an engineered bladder needs to reconstruct a compliant muscular wall and a highly specialized urothelium, well-orchestrated under control of autonomic and sensory innervations. Bioreactors play a very important role allowing cell growth and specialization into a tissue-engineered vascular construct within a physiological environment. Bioprinting technology is rapidly progressing, achieving the generation of custom-made structural supports using an increasing number of different polymers as ink with a high capacity of reproducibility. Although many promising results have been achieved, few of them have been tested with clinical success. This lack of satisfactory applications is a good reason to discourage researchers in this field and explains, somehow, the limited high-impact scientific production in this area during the last decade, emphasizing that still much more progress is required before bioengineered bladders become a commonplace in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Water absorption by decellularized dermis was investigated and compared with biopolymer and synthetic polymer hydrogels (glutaraldehyde-crosslinked gelatin and crosslinked poly(acrylamide) hydrogel, respectively). Porcine dermis was decellularized in an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. Histological evaluation revealed that the SDS-treated dermis has much larger gaps between collagen fibrils than non-treated dermis, and that water absorption depends on these gaps. Decellularized dermis has low water absorptivity and the absorption obeys Fick's second law. During absorption, the water diffusion rate decreases with time and occurs in two steps. The first is rapid absorption into the large gaps, followed by slow absorption by the collagen fiber layer. Because of the gaps, decellularized dermis can absorb more water than native dermis and shows different water absorption behavior to glutaraldehyde-crosslinked gelatin and crosslinked poly(acrylamide) hydrogels.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus involves the loss of function and/or absolute numbers of insulin-producing β cells in pancreatic islets. Islet transplantation is currently being investigated as a potential cure, and advances in tissue engineering methods can be used to improve pancreatic islets survival and functionality. Transplanted islets experience anoikis, hypoxia, and inflammation-mediated immune response, leading to early damage and subsequent failure of the graft. Recent development in tissue engineering enables the use of decellularized organs as scaffolds for cell therapies. Decellularized pancreas could be a suitable scaffold as it can retain the native extracellular matrix and vasculature. In this study, mouse pancreata were decellularized by perfusion using 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Different characterizations revealed that the resulting matrix was free of cells and retained part of the pancreas extracellular matrix including the vasculature and its internal elastic basal lamina, the ducts with their basal membrane, and the glycosaminoglycan and collagen structures. Islets were infused into the ductal system of decellularized pancreata, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion results confirmed their functionality after 48 hr. Also, recellularizing the decellularized pancreas with green fluorescent protein-tagged INS-1 cells and culturing the system over 120 days confirmed the biocompatibility and non-toxic nature of the scaffold. Green fluorescent protein-tagged INS-1 cells formed pseudoislets that were, over time, budding out of the decellularized pancreata. Decellularized pancreatic scaffolds seeded with endocrine pancreatic tissue could be a potential bioengineered organ for transplantation.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in embryogenesis, serving both as a substrate to which cells attach and as an active regulator of cell behavior. However, little is known about the spatiotemporal expression patterns and 3D structure of ECM proteins during embryonic development. The lack of suitable methods to visualize the embryonic ECM is largely responsible for this gap, posing a major technical challenge for biologists and tissue engineers. Here, we describe a method of viewing the 3D organization of the ECM using a polyacrylamide-based hydrogel to provide a 3D framework within developing murine embryos. After removal of soluble proteins using sodium dodecyl sulfate, confocal microscopy was used to visualize the 3D distribution of independent ECM networks in multiple developing tissues, including the forelimb, eye, and spinal cord. Comparative analysis of E12.5 and E14.5 autopods revealed proteoglycan-rich fibrils maintain connections between the epidermis and the underlying tendon and cartilage, indicating a role for the ECM during musculoskeletal assembly and demonstrating that our method can be a powerful tool for defining the spatiotemporal distribution of the ECM during embryogenesis.

Abstract
There are many factors to consider in the field of tissue engineering. For articular cartilage repair, this includes seed cells, scaffolds and chondrotrophic hormones. This review primarily focuses on the seed cells and scaffolds. Extracellular matrix proteins provide a natural scaffold for cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation. The structure and composition of tissue-derived scaffolds and native tissue are almost identical. As such, tissue-derived scaffolds hold great promise for biomedical applications. However, autologous tissue-derived scaffolds also have many drawbacks for transplantation, as harvesting autografts is limited to available donor sites and requires secondary surgery, therefore imparting additional damage to the body. This review summarizes and analyzes various cell sources and tissue-derived scaffolds applied in orthopedic tissue engineering.

Abstract
The periosteum plays a key role in bone regeneration and an artificial bionic material is urgently required. The periostea on the tibia and skull differ with respect to the types of cells, microstructure, and components, leading to different biological functions and biomechanical properties. We aimed to prepare decellularized periosteum scaffolds derived from different origins and evaluate their angiogenic and osteogenic activities. Histological assessment of α-smooth muscle actin, bone morphogenetic protein-2, and alkaline phosphatase in tibial and calvarial periosteum tissues provided preliminary information on their differing angiogenic and osteogenic properties. We developed decellularization protocols to completely remove the periosteum cellular components and for good maintenance of the hierarchical multilayer structures and components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) with no cytotoxicity. Moreover, using a chicken egg chorioallantoic membrane assay and a nude mouse implantation model, we found that tibia-derived periosteum ECM had superior osteogenic activity and calvarium-derived ECM had good angiogenic activity. The preliminary mechanisms of differing activities were then evaluated by osteogenesis- and angiogenesis-related gene expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cell- and MC-3T3 cell-seeded ECM scaffolds. Thus, this study provides periosteum biomaterials that are derived from specific tissues and have different functional properties and structures, for use in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Natural extracellular matrix-derived biomaterials from decellularized allogenic tissues are of increasing interest for tissue engineering because their structure and composition provide a complexity that is not achievable with current manufacturing techniques. The prerequisite to bring allogenic tissue from bench to bedside as a functional biomaterial is the full removal of cells while preserving most of its native characteristics such as structure and composition. The exceptionally dense structure of articular cartilage, however, poses a special challenge for decellularization, scaffold preparation, and reseeding. Therefore, we tested 24 different protocols aiming to remove cells and glycosaminoglycans (GAG) while preserving the collagen backbone and ultrastructure. The resulting matrices were analyzed for cell removal (DNA quantification, haematoxylin and eosin staining), GAG content (dimethyl methylene blue assay, Alcian blue staining and micro-computed tomography), collagen integrity (immunohistochemistry and ultrastructure), and biomechanics (compression test). Furthermore, seeding tests were conducted to evaluate cell viability and attachment to the scaffolds. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-based protocols yielded satisfactory reduction of DNA content, yet had negative effects on cell viability and attachment. Hydrochloric acid efficiently decellularized the scaffold and pepsin emerged as best option for GAG depletion. Combining these two reagents led to our final protocol, most efficient in DNA and GAG depletion while preserving the collagen architecture. The compressive modulus decreased in the absence of GAG to ∼1/3 of native cartilage, which is significantly higher than that by commercially available scaffolds tested as a reference (ranging from 1/25 to 1/100 of native cartilage). Cytocompatibility tests showed that human adipose-derived stromal cells readily adhered to the scaffold. In this study, we established a protocol combining freeze-thaw cycles, osmotic shock, and treatment with hydrochloric acid followed by a pepsin digestion step, achieving successful decellularization and GAG depletion within 1 week, resulting in a cytocompatible material with intact collagen structure. The protocol provides a basis for the generation of allogeneic scaffolds, potentially substituting manufactured scaffolds currently used in clinical articular cartilage treatment.

Abstract
Some decellularized musculoskeletal extracellular matrices (ECM)s derived from tissues such as bone, tendon and fibrocartilaginous meniscus have already been clinical use for tissue reconstruction. Repair of articular cartilage with its unique zonal ECM architecture and composition is still an unsolved problem, and the question is whether allogenic or xenogeneic decellularized cartilage ECM could serve as a biomimetic scaffold for this purpose.Hence, this survey outlines the present state of preparing decellularized cartilage ECM-derived scaffolds or composites for reconstruction of different cartilage types and of reseeding it particularly with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).The preparation of natural decellularized cartilage ECM scaffolds hampers from the high density of the cartilage ECM and lacking interconnectivity of the rather small natural pores within it: the chondrocytes lacunae. Nevertheless, the reseeding of decellularized ECM scaffolds before implantation provided superior results compared with simply implanting cell-free constructs in several other tissues, but cartilage recellularization remains still challenging. Induced by cartilage ECM-derived scaffolds MSCs underwent chondrogenesis.Major problems to be addressed for the application of cell-free cartilage were discussed such as to maintain ECM structure, natural chemistry, biomechanics and to achieve a homogenous and stable cell recolonization, promote chondrogenic and prevent terminal differentiation (hypertrophy) and induce the deposition of a novel functional ECM. Some promising approaches were proposed including further processing of the decellularized ECM before recellularization of the ECM with MSCs, co-culturing of MSCs with chondrocytes and establishing bioreactor culture e.g. with mechanostimulation, flow perfusion pressure and lowered oxygen tension.

Abstract
Recent advances in tissue engineering have led to potential new strategies, especially decellularization protocols from natural tissues, for the repair, replacement, and regeneration of intervertebral discs. This study aimed to validate our previously reported method for the decellularization of annulus fibrosus (AF) tissue and to quantify potentially antigenic α-Gal epitopes in the decellularized tissue. Porcine AF tissue was decellularized using different freeze-thaw temperatures, chemical detergents, and incubation times in order to determine the optimal method for cell removal. The integrity of the decellularized material was determined using biochemical and mechanical tests. The α-Gal epitope was quantified before and after decellularization. Decellularization with freeze-thaw in liquid nitrogen, an ionic detergent (0.1% SDS), and a 24 h incubation period yielded the greatest retention of GAG and collagen relative to DNA reduction when tested as single variables. Combined, these optimal decellularization conditions preserved more GAG while removing the same amount of DNA as the conditions used in our previous study. Components and biomechanical properties of the AF matrix were retained. The decellularized AF scaffold exhibited suitable immune-compatibility, as evidenced by successful in vivo remodeling and a decrease in the α-Gal epitope. Our study defined the optimal conditions for decellularization of porcine AF tissues while preserving the biological composition and mechanical properties of the scaffold. Under these conditions, immunocompatibility was evidenced by successful in vivo remodeling and reduction of the α-Gal epitope in the decellularized material. Decellularized AF scaffolds are potential candidates for clinical applications in spinal surgery.

Abstract
Prosthetic implants are used daily to treat edentulous people and to restore mobility in patients affected by skeletal defects. Titanium (Ti) is the material of choice in prosthetics, because it can form a stable bond with the surrounding bone following implantation-a process known as osseointegration. Yet, full integration of prosthetic implants takes time, and fails in clinical situations characterized by limited bone quantity and/or compromised regenerative capacity, and in at-risk patients. Intense research efforts are thus made to develop new implants that are cost-effective, safe, and suited to every patient in each clinical situation. In this study, we tested the possibility to functionalize Ti implants using stem cells. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal progenitor (iPSC-MP) cells were cultured on Ti model disks for 2 weeks in osteogenic conditions. Samples were then treated using four different decellularization methods to wash off the cells and expose the matrix. The functionalized disks were finally sterilized and seeded with fresh human iPSC-MP cells to study the effect of stem cell-mediated surface functionalization on cell behavior. The results show that different decellularization methods produce diverse surface modifications, and that these modifications promote proliferation of human iPSC-MP cells, affect the expression of genes involved in development and differentiation, and stimulate the release of alkaline phosphatase. Cell-mediated functionalization represents an attractive strategy to modify the surface of prosthetic implants with cues of biological relevance, and opens unprecedented possibilities for development of new devices with enhanced therapeutic potential.
