OPTIMIZED METHOD OF BOVINE PERICARDIUM DECELLULARIZATION FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING.

Objective: The aim: To investigate the effectiveness of using low concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cross-linking with EDC/NHS in the decellularization process to create a potential bioimplant for cardiac surgery.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Pericardial sacs were derived from 12-18 months bulls. Tissue decellularization was performed by using 0.
