Last twenties, tissue engineering has rapidly advanced to address the shortage of organ donors. Decellularization techniques have been developed to mitigate immune rejection and alloresponse in transplantation. However, a clear definition of effective decellularization remains elusive.

This study designs a novel combination of Angiofil, a liquid radiopaque polymer, and latex, a flexible cast material, for cadaveric vascular analysis.
Material & Methods: The aim was to synergize the advantages of both components, providing accurate radiological images and optimal dissection conditions.
Introduction: To mitigate the post-operative complication rates associated with massive bone allografts, tissue engineering techniques have been employed to decellularize entire bones through perfusion with a sequence of solvents. Mechanical assessment was performed in order to compare conventional massive bone allografts and perfusion/decellularized massive bone allografts.
Material And Methods: Ten porcine femurs were included.
