Evaluating the Effect of Tissue Selection on the Characteristics of Extracellular Matrix Hydrogels from Decellularized Porcine Bladders

Abstract: Porcine urinary bladder is one of the most used organs to fabricate extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel. Although there are two different ECM types inside a bladder, i.e., urinary bladder matrix (UBM) and a subtype ECM (sECM), most studies have only employed UBM for hydrogel fabrication, and overlooked the potential use of sECM. In another aspect, the delamination of UBM from bladders is a time-consuming process; consequently, the use of the whole bladder (WB) will likely increase production yield. Therefore, … Show more

“…Although the exact mechanism for the ECM hydrogel formation process is not fully understand, it is commonly thought that it involves the self-assembly process of collagen under appropriate physiological condition of 37 °C and pH 7.4, regulated in part by the presence of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and ECM proteins [ 24 ]. In our previous study [ 20 ], neutralized digested B-ECM possessed shear thinning characteristic at 4 °C, indicating the material was injectable and could be applied in minimally invasive surgery using syringes or needles. According to rheological measurement, neutralized digested B-ECM showed solid-like behavior with a storage modulus (G′) of around 110 Pa.…”
