Popis: Aims: To apply an organ regeneration platform technology of autologous smooth muscle cell/biomaterial combination products, previously demonstrated to be successful for urinary tissue regeneration, to the regeneration of the small intestine. Materials & methods: Patch and tubular constructs were implanted in rodent small intestines and histologically evaluated over a time course for evidence of regeneration of the laminarly organized neo-mucosa and muscle layers. Results: Laminarly organized neo-mucosa and muscle layer bundles are demonstrated as early as 8 weeks postimplantation. Conclusion: An organ regeneration technology platform of autologous smooth muscle cell/biomaterial combination products can be extended to the regeneration of the small intestine.
