Objective: To provide evidence of using the human foreskin acellular matrix graft for urethral tissue engineering. METH-ODS: The human foreskin acellular matrix graft was prepared, its safety and biocompatibility as urethral material were determined by histological observation, cytotoxicity test using primary epithelial cells and experiment in vivo.
Results: Intact cells were absent from the foreskin acellular matrix graft. The cytotoxicity test showed that the relative growth rate of the cells was between 75% and 99%, and the cytotoxicity of the foreskin acellular matrix graft was grade 1, consistent with the national standard. With the lengthening of time, the foreskin acellular matrix graft became perfectly compatible with the urothelial cells and the urethral multi-layer structure was restored to normal gradually.
Conclusion: The human foreskin acellular matrix graft, with its low antigenicity and good biocompatibility, could be a good scaffold for urethral tissue engineering.

Background: Bioscaffolds and cells are two main components in the regeneration of damaged tissues via cell therapy. Umbilical cord stem cells are among the most well-known cell types for this purpose. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the pretreatment of the foreskin acellular matrix (FAM) by monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and Lactobacillus casei supernatant (LCS) on the attraction of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSC).

The rapid development of tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine brings an acute need for biocompatible and bioactive biological scaffolds to regenerate or restore damaged tissue. Great attention is focused on the decellularization of tissues or even whole organs, and the subsequent colonization of such decellularized extracellular matrices by recipient cells. The foreskin is an integral, normal part of the external genitalia that forms the anatomical covering of the glans penis and the urinary meatus of all human and non-human primates.

Objective: Acellular matrices of different allogeneic or xenogeneic origins are widely used as structural scaffolds in regenerative medicine. The main goal of this research was to optimize a method for decellularization of foreskin for skin regeneration in small wounds.
Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, the dermal layers of foreskin were divided into two sections and subjected to two different decellularization methods: the sodium dodecyl sulfate method (SDS-M), and our optimized foreskin decellularization method (OFD-M).

This study evaluated the inhibitory effects of bilirubin on colony formation and cell migration of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer cell lines SK-MEL-3 and A431, compared with normal human dermal fibroblasts (HDF). The IC obtained from the MTT assay was 125, 100, and 75 μM bilirubin for HDF, A431, and SK-MEL-3 cells, respectively. The colony formation and cell migration of cancer cells, treated with 100 μM bilirubin, were reduced significantly ( < 0.

Background: Investigating the viability and proliferative rates of fibroblast cells on human amniotic membrane (HAM) as a scaffold will be an important subject for further research. The aim of this study was to assess the fibroblast viability seeded on acellular HAM, since foreskin neonatal allogenic fibroblasts seeded on HAM accelerate the wound healing process.
Methods: Fibroblasts were retrieved from the foreskin of a genetically healthy male infant, and we exploited AM of healthy term neonates to prepare the amniotic scaffold for fibroblast transfer.
