Published: December 2020

A complex skin structure (such as a nipple) can be successfully decellularized under conditions that prevent extracellular matrix crosslinking or undue matrix degradation [1]. This treatment removes cellular antigens, thus mitigating immunorejection concerns and enabling allogeneic transplantation for nipple reconstruction after mastectomy. Non-human primate studies have shown that host-mediated re-vascularization and re-epithelization of the decellularized nipples occurs within six weeks and nipple projection is maintained over the same timeframe [1]. The mechanisms by which a decellularized graft located on the surface of the body heals are incompletely understood, but are likely to follow a similar path to decellularized allografts that are implanted within the body, with some modifications. The following is a description of probable temporal events leading to healing under this circumstance.

The high-dynamic, high-loading environment in the joint cavity puts urgent demands on the cartilage regenerative materials with shear responsiveness and lubrication. Here, a new type of injectable hydrogel composed of oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA), adipic dihydrazide-grafted hyaluronic acid (HA-ADH), oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OChs), and decellularized extracellular matrix methacrylate (dECMMA) was fabricated. The aldehyde groups in OHA and OChs reacted with the amino groups in HA-ADH to form a dynamic hydrogel, which was then covalently crosslinked with dECMMA to create a dual-crosslinked hydrogel with sufficient mechanical strength.

The Masquelet technique that combines a foreign body reaction (FBR)-induced vascularized tissue membrane with staged bone grafting for reconstruction of segmental bone defect has gained wide attention in Orthopedic surgery. The success of Masquelet hinges on its ability to promote formation of a "periosteum-like" FBR-induced membrane at the bone defect site. Inspired by Masquelet's technique, here a novel approach is devised to create periosteum mimetics from decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), engineered in vivo through FBR, for reconstruction of segmental bone defects.
