Supercritical carbon dioxide decellularization of plant material to generate 3D biocompatible scaffolds

Abstract The use of plant-based biomaterials for tissue engineering has recently generated interest as plant decellularization produces biocompatible scaffolds which can be repopulated with human cells. The predominant approach for vegetal decellularization remains serial chemical processing. Howeve...
