Biologic breast implant
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.
Anatomic tissue-engineered osteochondral implant and method for fabrication thereof
A method for forming a prosthesis comprising a bone-like portion and a cartilage-like portion can comprise additively manufacturing a first positive mold in accordance with a portion of a first three-dimensional model of a portion of a bone. A first negative mold can be formed from the first positive mold. The bone-like portion can be created within the first negative mold. A second positive mold of the bone and a cartilage can be additively manufactured from a second three-dimensional model. A portion of the second three-dimensional model can correspond to a portion of the first three-dimensional model. A second negative mold can be formed from the second positive mold. The bone-like portion can be positioned in the second negative mold so that the second negative mold and the bone-like portion can define a cartilage space that can be filled with a material to form the cartilage-like portion of the prosthesis.
PERFORATED TISSUE MATRIX
The present disclosure relates to tissue matrix products. The products can includes tissue matrices that have holes or perforations located at certain positions to improve certain in vivo functions without substantial loss of strength or other important properties.
KIDNEY REGENERATION ACCELERATOR AND PRODUCTION METHOD FOR SAME
The kidney regeneration accelerator that contains a component obtained by decellularizing a mammalian organ. The production method for a kidney regeneration accelerator that involves decellularizing a mammalian organ to obtain a component that includes an extracellular matrix, freeze drying and then pulverizing the component to obtain a powder, and performing a sterilization treatment on the powder. A pharmaceutical composition for use in treating kidney disease that contains a component obtained by decellularizing a mammalian organ. A treatment method for kidney disease that involves applying a pharmaceutical composition that contains a component obtained by decellularizing a mammalian organ to a site to be treated of the kidney of a human or animal kidney disease patient.
Regenerative Tissue-Mimetic Multilayer Fused Microgel-Cell Construct
Described herein are regenerative approaches with tunable cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions to enhance the ability to regenerate multiple zones within a construct with each zone possessing a unique, optimum, level of cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction.
Collagen compositions and uses for biomaterial implants
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.
Composite membrane comprising a decellularized amniotic membrane and a method for preparing the same
The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and relates to a composite membrane comprising a decellularized amniotic membrane, a use of the composite membrane, and a method for preparing the composite membrane.
Compositions Comprising Extracellular Matrix of Primitive Animal Species and Related Methods
A method is provided for preparing an ECM material, including an ECM gel, from regenerative or regenerating tissue. ECM material prepared from regenerative or regenerating materials also is provided.
Decellularized biomaterial from non-mammalian tissue
The growth factor profile, connective tissue matrix constituents, and immunoprivileged status of urodele extracellular matrix (ECM) and accompanying cutaneous tissue, plus the presence of antimicrobial peptides there, render urodele-derived tissue an ideal source for biological scaffolds for xenotransplantation. In particular, a biological scaffold biomaterial can be obtained by a process that entails (A) obtaining a tissue sample from a urodele, where the tissue comprises ECM, inclusive of the basement membrane, and (B) subjecting the tissue sample to a decellularization process that maintains the structural and functional integrity of the extracellular matrix, by virtue of retaining its fibrous and on-fibrous proteins, glycoaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, while removing sufficient cellular components of the sample to reduce or eliminate antigenicity and immunogenicity for xenograft purposes. The resultant urodele-derived biomaterial can be used to enhance restoration of skin homeostasis, to reduce the severity, durations and associated damage caused by post-surgical inflammation, and to promote progression of natural healing and regeneration processes. In addition, the biomaterial promotes the formation of remodeled tissue that is comparable in quality, function, and compliance to undamaged human tissue.
DECELLULARIZED MENISCAL CARTILAGE AND USES THEROF
The present disclosure provides improved biomaterials extracted from fibrous meniscal cartilage (FMC). The materials are at least partially decellularized and enzyme treated to remove at least a portion of the elastin and blood vessels found in FMC. Such biomaterials can be employed as tissue scaffolds, such as in transplant procedures.
