January 2026 in “Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering” In this study, researchers developed a 3D in vitro model using decellularized Dupuytren’s disease tissue seeded with patient-derived fibroblasts, providing a platform to test antifibrotic therapies like minoxidil and demonstrating more complex drug responses than traditional 2D cultures.
August 2025 in “Journal of Polymer Science” This review reports that combining adipose-derived stem cells with decellularized extracellular matrix enhances tissue repair by improving scaffold biological activity and promoting angiogenesis, integration, and functional regeneration across various tissues, while addressing challenges in traditional transplantation methods.
