Decellularization and In Vivo Recellularization of Abdominal Porcine Fascial Tissue.

Background: Tissue decellularization has evolved as a promising approach for tissue engineering applications.

Methods: In this study, we harvested fascial tissue from porcine anterior abdominal wall and the samples were decellularized with a combination of agents such as Triton X-100, trypsin and DNAase. Afterwards, we evaluated cell removal by histological analysis and DNA quantification.
