Resorbable extracellular matrix grafts in urologic reconstruction.

PURPOSE There is an increasingly large body of literature concerning tissue-engineering products that may be used in urology. Some of these are quite complex (such as multilayer patient-specific cell-seeded implants) yet the most simple and successful products to date are also the most uncomplicated: resorbable acellular extra-cellular matrices (ECMs) harvested from animals. ECMs have been used...

Decellularized Tendon Extracellular Matrix—A Valuable Approach for Tendon Reconstruction?

Tendon healing is generally a time-consuming process and often leads to a functionally altered reparative tissue. Using degradable scaffolds for tendon reconstruction still remains a compromise in view of the required high mechanical strength of tendons. Regenerative approaches based on natural decellularized allo- or xenogenic tendon extracellular matrix (ECM) have recently started to attract ...

Editorial Extracellular Matrix Proteomics in Cardiac Ischemia / Reperfusion

Prolonged myocardial ischemia leads to myocyte necrosis, which initiates a localized inflammatory response that catabolizes the cellular debris and initiates deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins.1 In addition to providing a vital structural framework for the three-dimensional organization of cells, the ECM determines the physical properties of biological tissues and acts as a dynam...
