Perfusion decellularization is a novel technique to produce whole liver scaffolds that retains the organ's extracellular matrix composition and microarchitecture. Herein, the method of preparing whole organ scaffolds using perfusion decellularization and subsequent repopulation with hepatocytes is described. Functional and transplantable liver grafts can be generated using this technique.
Here we present a protocol describing oxygenated ex situ machine perfusion of donor liver grafts. This article contains a step by step protocol to procure and prepare the liver graft for machine perfusion, prepare the perfusion fluid, prime the perfusion machine and perform oxygenated normothermic machine perfusion of the liver graft.
We describe a method of ex vivo machine perfusion of human liver grafts at subnormothermic temperature (21 °C).
This manuscript describes an ice-free cryopreservation method for large quantities of rat hepatocytes whereby primary cells are pre-incubated with cryoprotective agents at a low concentration and vitrified in large droplets.
This paper presents a partial heterotopic osteomyocutaneous flap transplantation protocol in rats and its potential outcomes in the mid-term follow-up.
The present protocol describes the porcine fascio-cutaneous flap model and its potential use in vascularized composite tissue research.
This protocol describes harvesting, suturing, and monitoring fasciocutaneous flaps in rats that allow for good visualization and manipulation of blood flow through the superficial inferior epigastric vessels by means of clamping and ligating the femoral vessels. This is critical for studies involving ischemic preconditioning.
This article demonstrates the feasibility of achieving longer perfusion times (4 h) of murine cardiac grafts without function loss by employing lower (30-35 mmHg) than physiological (60-80 mmHg) perfusion pressures during Langendorff.
A detailed and reproducible swine uterus model is described, from surgical procurement to the initiation of machine perfusion, allowing for the study of uterus preservation in transplantation.
