for an alternative to donor organs, we attempted to regenerate lungs based on perfusion
decellularized lung scaffolds that can be transplanted similar to a donor organ. METHODS:
Cadaveric rat lungs were decellularized by detergent perfusion. Resulting scaffolds were
mounted in bioreactors and seeded with endothelial and fetal lung cells. Biomimetic organ
culture was maintained for 7 days. Resulting bioartificial left lungs were transplanted in …
