Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) holds promise for tissue regeneration.
  • Developing versatile biomaterials from dECM requires innovative processing techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create novel biomaterials called "tissue papers" using a tissue-independent decellularization and fabrication method.
  • To characterize the properties and biological compatibility of these tissue papers derived from various animal tissues.

Main Methods:

  • Decellularization of native porcine and bovine tissues/organs.
  • Fabrication of dECM particle ink suspensions into "tissue papers" via casting.
  • In vitro characterization using human mesenchymal stem cells and ovarian follicle models.
  • Ex vivo assessment of ovarian cortical tissue viability and function.

Main Results:

  • Developed distinct tissue paper types from heart, kidney, liver, muscle, ovary, and uterus with unique microstructures and mechanical properties (E = 1-18 MPa).
  • Tissue papers exhibited high liquid absorption (up to 300% of weight) and mechanical robustness when hydrated, allowing manipulation (cutting, folding, suturing).
  • All tissue paper types supported human mesenchymal stem cell adhesion, viability, and proliferation over four weeks; ovarian tissue papers maintained ovarian follicle and cortical tissue viability and function ex vivo.

Conclusions:

  • The developed "tissue papers" represent a versatile, robust, and biologically compatible biomaterial platform.
  • This innovative approach enables the fabrication of advanced multi-biomaterial constructs for regenerative medicine.
  • Tissue papers show significant potential for applications in tissue engineering and organoid development.
