Objective: To investigate the dynamic process of the inflammatory response and the profile of Th1/Th2 cytokines after xenogenic acellular dermal matrix (ADM) transplantation with thin split-thickness skin autograft overlay.
Methods: SD rats were used in the study. In the control group, thin split-thickness skin autograft (STSG) was transplanted in the full-thickness skin defect of the SD rats; in the experimental group, the xenogenic acellular dermal matrix combined with thin split-thickness skin autograft was transplanted. The inflammatory response was examined histologically and Th1/Th2 cytokine mRNA expression in skin grafts was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
Results: Inflammatory reaction was induced by ADM at the early stage of transplantation and decreased gradually. Th2 cytokine mRNA expression was higher in the ADM group than that of the control group whereas the Th1 cytokine mRNA expression was undetected in both groups.
Conclusion: Xenogenic acellular dermal matrix is immunogenic. The increased expression of Th2 cytokines may be related to the humoral immune responses and the absence of ADM graft rejection.

Introduction: Uterus bioengineering offers a potential treatment option for women with uterine factor infertility and for mitigating the risk of uterine rupture associated with women with defective uterine tissue. Decellularized uterine tissue scaffolds proved promising in further in vivo experiments in rodent and domestic species animal models. Variations in the extracellular matrix composition among different species and adaptations of the decellularization protocols make it difficult to compare the results between studies.

The optimal repair of rigid mineralized tissues, such as bone, in cases of fracture, surgical resection, or prosthetic placement, is a complex process often necessitating the use of bone graft materials. Autogenous bone from the patient is generally the gold standard in terms of outcomes but also has disadvantages, which have resulted in extensive research in the field of tissue engineering to develop better and more convenient alternatives. In the dental field, several initiatives have demonstrated that the dentin material derived from extracted teeth produces excellent results in terms of repairing bone defects and supporting dental implants.

Biomaterials derived from biological matrices have been widely investigated due to their great therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine, since they are able to induce cell proliferation, tissue remodeling, and angiogenesis . In this context, highly vascularized and proliferative tissues, such as the uterine wall, present an interesting source to produce acellular matrices that can be used as bioactive materials to induce tissue regeneration. Therefore, this study aimed to establish an optimized protocol to generate decellularized uterine scaffolds (dUT), characterizing their structural, compositional, and biomechanical properties.

Decellularized scaffolds retain the main bioactive substances of the extracellular matrix, which can better promote cell proliferation and matrix reconstruction at the defect site, and have great potential for morphological and functional restoration in patients with tissue defects. Due to the safety of the material source of allogeneic decellularized scaffolds, there is a great limitation in their clinical application, so the preparation and evaluation of xenodermal acellular scaffolds have attracted much attention. In terms of skin tissue structure and function, porcine skin has a high degree of similarity to human skin and has the advantages of sufficient quantity and no ethical issues.

The problem of gingival recession is common in dental practice, causing pain and dentin hypersensitivity for the patient, and remains difficult to treat surgically at the second surgical site used to harvest the connective graft. Many alternatives have been used to replace connective grafts, but none have been as effective.
