The present disclosure describes methods of treating an injury in a subject using placental tissue streamers, engineered tissue placental tissue hybrids, suture placental tissue hybrids, placental tissue patch hybrids, and tissue hybrids, and the use of these compositions to repair, treat, or support an injury or degenerative process in a subject.

Disclosed herein is a continuous tubular shaped valve member formed from crosslinked, acellular pericardium tissue. The tubular shaped valve member can have a lumen, an outer wall, a longitudinal axis, an inlet portion, and an outlet portion, the outlet portion comprising a top edge, wherein said top edge is disposed proximate said inlet portion, the outlet portion defining an outlet in fluid communication with said lumen of said tubular shaped valve member, said inlet portion defining an inlet in fluid communication with said lumen of said tubular shaped valve member.

Disclosed herein are contractile cell constructs, methods for using them to treat disease, and methods for making them.

The present disclosure describes methods of treating an injury in a subject using placental tissue streamers, engineered tissue placental tissue hybrids, suture placental tissue hybrids, placental tissue patch hybrids, and tissue hybrids, and the use of these compositions to repair, treat, or support an injury or degenerative process in a subject.

An engineered vocal fold mucosa, including an engineered lamina propria layer and an engineered squamous epithelium layer, is disclosed. The engineered lamina propria is made by seeding and culturing human vocal fold fibroblasts within a polymerized collagen scaffold, and the engineered squamous epithelium is made by culturing human vocal fold epithelial cells on the scaffold surface. The resulting engineered vocal fold mucosa is not immunogenic, and is capable of exhibiting the vibratory function and acoustic output of a native vocal fold mucosa. Accordingly, the engineered vocal fold mucosa may be implanted into the larynx to treat voice impairment.

A prosthetic valve comprising a tubular shaped sheet member comprising an extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, the sheet member having a plurality of ribbons having proximal and distal ends, the distal ends of the ribbons projecting from the sheet member proximal end.

A cardiac patch for treatment of a mammalian heart including perfusable vessels embedded integratedly between two layers of anisotropically oriented myocardial fibers. The cardiac patch is made using a dual 3D bioprinting technique using stereolithography to form an anisotropic construct and extrusion printing to form perfusion vessels. A nutrient and oxygen containing media can be provided within the perfusion vessels for growth of cells in the cardiac patch. The technique permits larger patches to be made for the treatment of cardiac damage in both small and large mammalian hearts.

A prosthetic valve comprising a conical shaped sheet member comprising an extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and an internal multi-link support stent structure, the sheet member having a plurality of open slit regions that are disposed uniformly on linear planes that are parallel to the sheet member longitudinal axis, and a proximal annulus engagement end diameter and length ratio in the range of 5:1 to 2:1.
