Decellularized tissue biomaterials/grafts. (A) SciFinder published article results for “Decellularized Tissue” by year since 2000, showing exponential increase in research interest and progression over the years. (B) Break-down of the articles published according to tissue/whole organ application. Heart, vascular and bone tissue engineering are the top three areas where dECM is used as a biomaterial or graft. We used a total of 5386 published articles to develop the presented pie chart.
