Urological tissue engineering offers alternative solutions for congenital and acquired diseases of the urinary tract, which may require reconstructive surgery. It evolves to overcome complications, which might be encountered after surgery. Therefore, tissu ...
In spite of decades of research, no feasible method for obtaining sufficient numbers of uncommitted muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for therapy of degenerative muscle diseases exists. One of the most fundamental problems associated with stem cell therapy of musc ...
In this study we present a photocrosslinkable and layerable hydrogel based on decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) intended for in vitromodels of cartilage tissue formation. dECM can provide cellular environments that are close to the native tissue s ...
Tissue decellularisation has gained much attention in regenerative medicine as an alternative to synthetic materials. In decellularised tissues, biological cues can be maintained and provide cellular environments still unmet by synthetic materials. Supercr ...

Everyday life physiological functions such as breathing, muscle contraction, and blood circulation rely on the ability of single cells to organize into higher complexity structures and sustain mechanical deformations. Cell monolayers are the simplest tissu ...
As a paradigm shifting player of tissue engineering, organs-on-chips (OOCs) are considered to hold great potential for future “clinical trials on chip” as well as a step forward to design personalized medicine. Despite all ethical concerns raised by commun ...
Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) derived scaffolds serve as potential candidates in the application of cartilage regeneration to guide cells into proliferating and maintaining the structural zones of articular cartilage. ECM tissue matrices offer fr ...
