Decellularization and recellularization of whole livers.
The liver is a complex organ which requires constant perfusion for delivery of nutrients and oxygen and removal of waste in order to survive. Efforts to recreate or mimic the liver microstructure with grounds up approach using tissue engineering and microfabrication techniques have not been successful so far due to this design challenge. In addition, synthetic biomaterials used to create scaffo...
متن کاملImmunolocalization of elastase in human emphysematous lungs.
The current working hypothesis concerning the pathogenesis of human pulmonary emphysema proposes that neutrophils migrate through the alveolar interstitium and degranulate, releasing proteolytic enzymes into the interstitium. These enzymes, in particular elastase, can bind to and degrade interstitial elastin. This report describes an immunohistochemical, ultrastructural technique that utilizes ...
متن کاملLong-range diffusion of hyperpolarized 3He in explanted normal and emphysematous human lungs via magnetization tagging.
Long-range diffusivity of hyperpolarized 3He gas was measured from the decay rate of sinusoidally modulated longitudinal nuclear magnetization in three normal donor and nine severely emphysematous explanted human lungs. This (long-range) diffusivity, which we call Dsec, is measured over seconds and centimeters and is approximately 10 times smaller in healthy lungs (0.022 cm2/s) than the more tr...

متن کاملEffects of Chondroitinase ABC-Mediated Proteoglycan Digestion on Decellularization and Recellularization of Articular Cartilage
Articular cartilage has a limited capacity to heal itself and thus focal defects often result in the development of osteoarthritis. Current cartilage tissue engineering strategies seek to regenerate injured tissue by creating scaffolds that aim to mimic the unique structure and composition of native articular cartilage. Decellularization is a novel strategy that aims to preserve the bioactive f...
