Multi-stage bioengineering of a layered oesophagus with in vitro expanded muscle and epithelial adult progenitors

Multi-stage bioengineering of a layered oesophagus with in vitro expanded muscle and epithelial adult progenitors

Combining decellularised scaffolds with patient-derived cells holds promise for bioengineering of functional tissues. Here the authors develop a two-stage approach to engineer an oesophageal graft that retains the structural organisation of native oesophagus.
