This study evaluated cryopreserved homografts (Group 1) and porcine heterografts decellularized with deoxicholic acid (Group 2), implanted in the right ventricular outflow tract of juvenile sheep. Two groups with four animals in each were used and all animals survived with good outcome. Animals were sacrificed 90 or more days after surgery (90-150 days). On the third and fifth postoperative months they were submitted to echocardiographic examination with normal function and appearance observed for both groups. Explants were evaluated through histological analysis, atomic spectrophotometry and radiological examination. Calcium content was higher in the cusps of cryopreserved homografts, despite an otherwise similar macroscopic appearance between grafts of both groups. Decellularized heterografts were progressively repopulated by autologous cells suggesting some regenerative ability and longer durability than conventional homografts.

Objectives: There is limited consensus on the optimal strategy for surgical treatment of severe tricuspid valve pathology. At our institution, we have implemented a unique technique of using a tricuspid homograft with its supporting apparatus for partial replacement of the native tricuspid valve. We now present the long-term outcomes of these patients.

Background: Despite their ability to regenerate as well as autografts, the use of nerve allografts is limited by the need for immunosuppression and the risk of disease transmission. Further, decellularized allografts lacking Schwann cells limit axonal regeneration in long nerve defects. This study evaluated sciatic nerve regeneration in rats implanted with cold- or cryopreserved allografts, and examined the effects of FK506, an immunosuppressant that targets calcineurin function, on motor recovery.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of intercalary frozen autograft and allograft reconstruction for primary malignant bone tumors.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 144 patients who underwent intercalary biological reconstruction for primary malignant bone tumors at a single institution between January 2012 and July 2023. Seventy-two patients underwent intercalary liquid nitrogen-frozen autograft reconstruction, and 72 patients underwent intercalary allograft reconstruction in this study.

It is common practice that allograft tissues for knee multiligament reconstruction, meniscus transplantation, cartilage replacement and other advanced procedures are made available through commercial banks. The aim was to present the 10-year experience with a local, non-commercial tissue bank, established in 2014. The allograft bank was connected to an existing organ donor program.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare a second-generation bioactive glass putty biomaterial (Novabone putty) against demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) in mandibular grade II furcation defects.
Materials And Methods: Fifteen systematically healthy individuals in the age range of 38-50 years were selected for this split-mouth study. Group I consisting of 15 sites, was treated with DFDBA and group II consisting of 15 sites was treated with Novabone putty (NB putty).
