Abstract Synopsis
- The study explores using decellularized plant tissues as scaffolds for tissue engineering because their vascular structures are similar to those of animal tissues, enabling nutrient transport and cell growth.
- Researchers modified a perfusion-based decellularization process for different plant species, ensuring the plant scaffolds remained open and functional for transporting particles and supporting cell growth.
- Human cells, including endothelial cells, stem cells, and heart cells, were successfully grown on the plant scaffolds, with some cells displaying functional properties like contraction, suggesting plants could be a cost-effective material for regenerating large, vascularized tissues.]
