Off-the-shelf human decellularized tissue-engineered heart valves in a non-human primate model

TLDR
The results suggest that human cell-derived bioengineered decellularized materials represent a promising and clinically relevant starter matrix for heart valve tissue engineering and may ultimately overcome the limitations of currently used valve replacements by providing homologous, non-immunogenic, off-the-shelf replacement constructs.

Improved quantitation and discrimination of sulphated glycosaminoglycans by use of dimethylmethylene blue

TL;DR: A modified form of the dim methylmethylene blue assay is described that has improved specificity for sulphated glycosaminoglycans, and it is shown that in conjunction with specific polysaccharidases, the dimethylmethyleneblue assay can be used to quantitate individual sulphated sugarcans.
