Characterisation of decellularised oesophagus in tissue engineering by Chia, Evelyn Sheng Nan.

“…Results from the cyclic loading test mostly showed that the decellularised samples did not vary from the fresh samples insignificantly, which indicated that the composition of the extracellular matrix of the decellularised samples were likely to be preserved. The slight variation between the samples was the also found to be most likely caused by the difference in hydration level. …”
