Decellularization is the process of removal of native cells from tissue, leaving behind a three-dimensional (3D) ultrastructure of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins while preserving the bioactivity and mechanics of the tissue. It offers a unique top-down approach for fabricating ECM based natural scaffold for tissue engineering application. Herein, this chapter presents the fabrication of decellularized scaffold employing different methods: whole organ perfusion, immersion and agitation, pressure gradient, and supercritical fluid. The decellularized scaffold aims to exploit the nature-designed 3D architecture, a successful platform technology, for creating scaffolding materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a mitochondrial fission protein and a viable target for cardioprotection against myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Here, we reported a novel Drp1 inhibitor (DRP1i1), delivered using a cardiac-targeted nanoparticle drug delivery system, as a more effective approach for achieving acute cardioprotection. DRP1i1 was encapsulated in cubosome nanoparticles with conjugated cardiac-homing peptides (NanoDRP1i1) and the encapsulation efficiency was 99.

Alveolar ridge loss presents difficulties for implant placement and stability. To address this, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is required to maintain bone and avoid the need for ridge augmentation using socket grafting. In this study, a scaffold for ARP was created by fabricating a 3D porous dense microfiber silk fibroin (mSF) embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which mimics the osteoid template.

Electrospinning is a remarkably straightforward and adaptable technique that can be employed to process an array of synthetic and natural materials, resulting in the production of nanoscale fibers. It has emerged as a novel technique for biomedical applications and has gained increasing popularity in the research community in recent times. In the context of tissue repair and tissue engineering, there is a growing tendency toward the integration of biomimetic scaffolds and bioactive macromolecules, particularly proteins and growth factors.

Male ICR mice were randomly assigned to one of six groups: a control group, a model group, and four intervention groups comprising the isolate (SS18-50-L and SS18-50-H) and the wild type (GS18-L and GS18-H) strains. The model group and the intervention groups were administered a 3.

The quality and safety of fish products are crucial because poorly handled fish products can result in foodborne illnesses, spoilage, and economic losses. Data on the nutritional and microbiological quality of fish products in Ethiopia, especially in Lake Tana, is limited. This study assessed the proximate composition and microbial quality of raw and open sun-dried fish products in Lake Tana.
