The Extracellular Matrix

12.1K
Overview
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...

Extracellular Matrix

5.4K
Unlike epithelial tissue, which is composed of cells closely packed with little or no extracellular space in between, connective tissue cells are dispersed in a matrix. This extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of fibrous proteins like collagen, elastin, and fibronectin in a ground substance consisting of interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans. The proteoglycans form a gel-like material in the spaces between cells and provide hydration, buffering, binding, and force...

Cell Potential and Free Energy

Thermodynamics of a Redox Reaction
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.6K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

4.6K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Bioprinting living tissues requires suitable biomaterials for cell encapsulation.
  • Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) is a promising biomaterial that retains native tissue cues.
  • Skin dECM preserves structural proteins and growth factors while removing immunogenic cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel bio-ink derived from skin dECM for 3D bioprinting.
  • To assess the viability, proliferation, and regenerative potential of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) within the dECM bio-ink construct.
  • To verify the skin regenerative mechanism facilitated by the dECM bio-ink.

Main Methods:

  • Skin dECM was extracted and processed into a bio-ink powder.
  • The dECM bio-ink was mixed with HDFs and loaded into a 3D bioprinter.
  • 3D constructs were fabricated and cultured for 7 days, monitoring cell viability and proliferation.
  • Gene expression analysis (microarray) was performed to assess the regenerative mechanism.

Main Results:

  • The dECM bio-ink supported over 90% cell viability and proliferation.
  • The 3D constructs maintained shape and integrity for 7 days post-bioprinting.
  • Gene expression analysis confirmed enhanced pathways related to skin morphology and development.

Conclusions:

  • Skin dECM is a viable and effective biomaterial for creating bio-inks in 3D bioprinting.
  • The dECM bio-ink promotes a favorable microenvironment for HDFs, supporting skin regeneration.
  • This approach holds potential for developing advanced skin tissue engineering strategies.
