Recently, several scaffolds have been introduced for urethral tissue engineering. However, acellular human urethral scaffold harvested from deceased donors may provide significant advantages compared to synthetic, composite, or other biological scaffolds. This study aims to develop the protocol for decellularization of the human urethra that preserves substantial extracellular matrix (ECM) components, which are essential for subsequent recellularization mimicking the natural environment of the native ECM.

Background: Transplant patients have an altered lipid profile associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, which is a major cause of graft loss and mortality in patients.
Methods: The study included 29 renal transplant recipients with mean graft function levels.
Objective: This study analysed the characteristics and outcome of the patients with bilateral germ testicular cell cancer (TC), especially synchronous.
Methods: Among 2.124 TC patients diagnosed between 1970 and 2020, 96 (4.
