Methods of producing and methods of treatment using a nipple areolar complex extracellular matrix. A method for processing tissue comprises harvesting a human nipple areolar complex tissue, treating the tissue with a stabilizing medium, wherein the medium stabilizes the tissue during transport, decellularizing the tissue, and sterilizing the tissue to form a human nipple areolar complex extracellular matrix scaffold (ECMS). A method of treating an individual with a need for a nipple reconstruction comprises forming an ECMS and applying the ECMS to the individual for nipple areolar regeneration.

A cell transplantation pretreatment method, a cell transplantation pretreatment device, and a cell transplantation pretreatment unit are provided, which are capable of improving the efficiency of loading grafts into a transplantation device. The cell transplantation pretreatment method includes the steps of: transporting a cell group cultured in a culture recess to a pretreatment recess using a culture tray including a plurality of the culture recesses arranged according to a first arrangement, a pretreatment tray including a plurality of the pretreatment recesses arranged according to a second arrangement, and a transplantation device including a needle shaped portion having a tubular shape configured to allow entry and exit of a graft containing the cell group, the transplantation device including a plurality of the needle shaped portions arranged according to the second arrangement; and loading the cell groups simultaneously from the plurality of pretreatment recesses into the plurality of needle shaped portions.

The invention provides an isolated dehydrated corneal tissue, comprising a full thickness corneal stroma, and substantially all, or all, of the Bowman's membrane, wherein the stroma contains cellular material. Also provided is a method to product the tissue and uses of the tissue.

The present solution can temporarily impart the handling characteristics of corneal stroma to the otherwise very thin, flimsy, coiling, and fragile Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) tissue during its insertion into the anterior chamber and positioning in apposition against the cornea of the recipient eye. The device of the present solution can be configured in a number of ways. In a first configuration, a scaffold can be coupled with the endothelial side of the DMEK graft. In a second configuration, the scaffold can be coupled with the stromal side of the DMEK graft. In a third configuration, one or more scaffolds can be coupled with both the endothelial and stromal side of the DMEK graft.

3D native tissue-derived scaffolding materials are made in various formats, including but not limited to hydrogel, sponge, fibers, microspheres, and films, all of which function to better preserve natural extracellular matrix molecules and to recapitulate the natural tissue environment, thereby effectively guiding tissue regeneration. Tissue-derived scaffolds are prepared by incorporating a homogenized tissue-derived suspension into a polymeric solution of synthetic, natural, or hybrid polymers. Such tissue-derived scaffolds and scaffolding materials have a variety of utilities, including: the creation of 3D tissue models such as skin, bone, liver, pancreas, lung, and so on; facilitation of studies on cell-matrix interactions; and the fabrication of implantable scaffolding materials for guided tissue formation in vivo. The tissue-derived scaffolds and scaffolding materials also provide the opportunity to correlate the functions of extracellular matrix with tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis, for example.
