The native extracellular matrix (ECM) within different origins of tissues provides a dynamic microenvironment for regulating various cellular functions. Thus, recent regenerative medicine and tissue engineering approaches for modulating various stem cell functions and their contributions to tissue repair include the utilization of tissue-specific decellularized matrix-based biomaterials. Because of their unique capabilities to mimic native extracellular microenvironments based on their three-dimensional structures, biochemical compositions, and biological cues, decellularized matrix-based biomaterials have been recognized as an ideal platform for engineering an artificial stem cell niche. Herein, we describe the most commonly used decellularization methods and their potential applications in musculoskeletal tissue engineering.

The Extracellular Matrix
The Extracellular Matrix
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...
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.
