Article Synopsis
- Organ decellularization is an innovative tissue engineering method aimed at addressing organ shortages for transplants, but hemocompatibility issues remain a significant challenge.
- Researchers found that using Custodiol (HTK solution), a standard organ preservation solution, improved the hemocompatibility of decellularized rat liver scaffolds by reducing blood coagulation.
- The study demonstrated that Custodiol-treated scaffolds prevented platelet aggregation and maintained cellular compatibility, suggesting that this approach could enhance the safety and effectiveness of whole-organ tissue engineering.
