The disclosure generally relates to methods, cells, and compositions for preparing cardiac extracellular matrix. In particular, provided herein are methods for preparing a cardiac extracellular matrix using SUSD2 High fibroblasts and SUSD2 High myofibroblasts.

The present invention relates to methods for removing antigens from tissues by sequentially destabilizing and/or depolymerizing cytoskeletal components and removing and/or reducing water-soluble antigens and lipid-soluble antigens. The invention further relates to tissue scaffolding and decellularized extracellular matrix produced by such methods.

A method is provided for producing a live cartilaginous material useful for implantation into a patient. A method of treating a patient comprising implanting a cartilaginous material prepared according to the provided method in an anatomical site in a patient also is provided.

The present disclosure relates to methods of preparing personalized blood vessels, useful for transplantation with improved host compatibility and reduced susceptibility to thrombosis. Also provided are personalized blood vessels produced by the methods and use thereof in surgery.

A tissue graft for soft tissue repair or reconstruction comprising a sheet of a biopolymer-based matrix having a plurality of small perforations and a plurality of large perforations. The small perforations are sized to facilitate clotting and granulation tissue development within the perforations which, in turn, facilitates revascularization and cell repopulation in the patient. The large perforations are sized to reduce the occurrence of clotting and granulation tissue development within the perforations so that extravascular tissue fluids accumulating at the implant site can drain through the tissue graft. The large perforations enhance mammal tissue anchoring by permitting mammal tissue to compress into the perforations increasing mammal tissue contact area.

The present disclosure provides tissue products produced from adipose tissues, as well as methods for producing such tissue products. The tissue products can include acellular tissue matrices for treatment of a breast.

The present disclosure provides tissue products produced from extracellular tissue matrices. The tissue products can include acellular extracellular matrices that have been treated in select areas to increase the compressive modulus of the matrix in the selected area while maintaining the ability to support cell growth and tissue regeneration. In addition, the tissue products can include collagen-containing materials that support tissue ingrowth along with a framework of collagenous or polymeric materials such that the combination has a desired compressive or tensile modulus and/or strength while maintaining the ability to support cell growth and tissue regeneration.

This invention is directed to systems and methods for treating a hernia by implanting a tissue graft material.

Compositions containing purified collagen biomaterial derived from tissues, for example, insoluble amnion, soluble amnion, soluble chorion of the human placenta, are provided. The collagen compositions can be used to promote wound healing, promote tissue regeneration, prevent or reduce scarring, reduce local inflammation, minimize tissue rejection, promote graft integration. Methods for using the collagen composition as a biomaterial implant for dermal filling, skin grafting, and hair transplantation are also provided.

The present invention provides novel compositions comprising multipotent cells or microvascular tissue, wherein the cells or tissue has been sterilized and/or treated to inactivated viruses, and related methods of using these compositions to treat or prevent tissue injury or disease in an allogeneic subject.
