Decellularization and Recellularization of Rabbit Kidney Using Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Renal Tissue Engineering

The effectiveness of decellularization and recellularization of rabbit kidney scaffolds with autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) was assessed. The static-based technique was judged against the perfusion-based method both in decellularization and recellularization processes. Kidneys were obtained from 8 rabbits and divided into two groups. Two kidneys did not undergo any processing and were served as the control group....
