Schematic of native tissue containing various ECM components and cells (A) and decellularized tissue void of cells (D). Histological H&E stained images of native cartilage tissue (B), native muscle tissue (C), decellularized cartilage tissue (E) and decellularized muscle tissue (F). Native tissue demonstrating intact extracellular matrix with presence of cells while decellularized tissue demonstrating lack of cell nuclei presence with some disruption in the matrix structure.
