Background: Tissue engineering based on whole-organ perfusion decellularization has successfully generated small-animal organs, including the heart and limbs. Herein, we aimed to use angiosome-guided perfusion decellularization to develop an acellular fasciocutaneous flap matrix with an intact vascular network.
Methods: Abdominal flaps of rats were harvested, and the vascular pedicle (iliac artery and vein) was dissected and injected with methylene blue to identify the angiosome region and determine the flap dimension for harvesting.

Bone's resistance to fracture depends on its amount and quality, the latter including its structural and material/compositional properties. Bone material properties are dependent on bone turnover rates, which are significantly elevated immediately following menopause. Previously published data reported that following menopause, the amount of organic matrix synthesized at actively forming surfaces is significantly decreased, while glycosaminoglycan content was also modulated at resorbing surfaces, in the cancellous compartment.

Although the sacroiliac (SI) joint can be a source of lower back and buttock pain, no comprehensive characterization studies on SI cartilage have been conducted. Using the minipig as a large animal model, this study conducted the first biomechanical, biochemical, and histological characterization of SI joint cartilage. Because previous literature has reported that sacral cartilage and iliac cartilage within the SI joint are histologically distinct, concomitantly it was expected that functional properties of the sacral cartilage would differ from those of the iliac cartilage.

Iliac arteries play a crucial role in peripheral blood circulation. They are susceptible to various diseases, including aneurysms and atherosclerosis. Structure, material properties, and biomechanical forces acting on different regions of the iliac vasculature may contribute to the localization and progression of these pathologies.
