Transplantation of bioengineered rat lungs recellularized with endothelial and adipose-derived stromal cells

Abstract Bioengineered lungs consisting of a decellularized lung scaffold that is repopulated with a patient’s own cells could provide desperately needed donor organs in the future. This approach has been tested in rats, and has been partially explored in porcine and human lungs. However, existing b...
