Abstract
While significant progress has been made in creating polymeric structures for tissue engineering, the therapeutic application of these scaffolds remains challenging owing to the intricate nature of replicating the conditions of native organs and tissues. The use of human-derived biomaterials for therapeutic purposes closely imitates the properties of natural tissue, thereby assisting in tissue regeneration. Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) scaffolds derived from natural tissues have become popular because of their unique biomimetic properties. These dECM scaffolds can enhance the body's ability to heal itself or be used to generate new tissues for restoration, expanding beyond traditional tissue transfers and transplants. Enhanced knowledge of how ECM scaffold materials affect the microenvironment at the injury site is expected to improve clinical outcomes. In this review, recent advancements in dECM scaffolds are explored and relevant perspectives are offered, highlighting the development and application of these scaffolds in tissue engineering for various organs, such as the skin, nerve, bone, heart, liver, lung, and kidney.
