The pulmonary extracellular matrix (ECM) determines the tissue architecture of the lung, and
provides mechanical stability and elastic recoil, which are essential for physiological lung …

With the advent of whole organ decellularization, extracellular matrix scaffolds suitable for
organ engineering were generated from numerous tissues, including the heart, lung, liver …

Biomaterials based on natural materials including decellularized tissues and tissue-derived
hydrogels are becoming more widely used for clinical applications. Because of their native …

Recent advances in whole lung bioengineering have opened new doors for studying lung
repair and regeneration ex vivo using acellular human derived lung tissue scaffolds …

Chronic respiratory diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
The only option at end-stage disease is lung transplantation, but there are not enough donor …

Biomaterials have been used for a long time in the field of medicine. Since the success of
“tissue engineering” pioneered by Langer and Vacanti in 1993, tissue engineering studies …

There is a clear unmet clinical need for novel biotechnology-based therapeutic approaches
to lung repair and/or replacement, such as tissue engineering of whole bioengineered …

Effective re‐endothelialization is critical for the use of decellularized scaffolds for ex vivo
lung engineering. Current approaches yield insufficiently re‐endothelialized scaffolds that …

Decellularized human adipose tissue has potential clinical utility as a processed biological
