Figure 1. Schematic of the decellularization and engraftment process of the NAC.

Figure 1

Step 1) Depicts the collection of the NAC from either the patient, who will then receive their own regenerated NAC, or a donor Step 2) decellularization of NAC graft with detergents, salts and enzyme; Step 3) onlay engraftment the acellular NAC; Step 4) allow for the patients own cells to migrate into the acellular NAC graft. Bottom Right) Representative images of native and decellularized rhesus NAC.
