[Research Advances in Regeneration of Soft Tissue with Small Intestinal Submucosa]
Abstract:
Small intestinal submucosa(SIS)is a natural decellularized extracellular matrix material.Due to its excellent biocompatibility,unique biomechanical properties and biological activity,it has been widely used as a scaffold in regenerative medicine.This article reviews the recent progress in the characterization and medical application of SIS respectively.The specific biological properties of the SIS,as well as its interaction with cells,are highlighted.Some of the SIS products and clinical cases are also reviewed and discussed.

Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...
Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
Types of Advanced Functional Groups
The table below summarizes some of the major functional groups in organic chemistry.

Small Intestine
The small intestine is divided into three main sections - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum, approximately 25 cm long, is nearest the stomach. It acts as a 'mixing bowl,' where chyme (partially digested food) blends with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver. The duodenum's unique...
