Production and implantation of renal extracellular matrix scaffolds from porcine kidneys as a platform for renal bioengineering investigations.

BACKGROUND: It is important to identify new sources of transplantable organs because of the critical shortage of donor organs. Tissue engineering holds the potential to address this issue through the implementation of decellularization-recellularization technology. OBJECTIVE: To produce and examine...
