Technique | Mechanism | Advantages | Disadvantages | References | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Physical decellularizationl | Freeze-thawing |
Temperatures change alternately between − 80 °C and 37 °C. Liquid nitrogen creates ice crystals in the cell membran and destroys the cells. |
No need for chemical reagents keeping the mechanical properties |
Incomplete decellularization | [60] |
Supercritical carbondioxide (SC- CO2) |
At a pressure of 30 MPa and a temperature of 50 °C, cells and genetic material are removed from the bone tissue. |
High biocompatible No need for terminal sterilization Preservation of ECM construction Perfect decellularization Fast Nontoxic |
No disadvantages have been reported for this method. | [61] | |
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) |
Disrupts cell membrane through high hydrostatic pressure |
High biocompatible No need for terminal sterilization Preservation of ECM construction Perfect decellularization Fast |
No disadvantages have been reported for this method. | [62] |
