Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions of decellularized preterm placental tissue. Compositions comprise decellularized regenerative tissue derived from animal placentas that are harvested preterm, i.e., before the completion of the normal duration of gestation. Preterm placental tissue may contain a high level of growth factors and other beneficial components that aid in tissue regeneration and healing.
Claims15
A composition comprising decellularized preterm placental tissue, wherein the preterm placental tissue is obtained from an animal in gestation having at least about 1 week to about 20 weeks remaining in a normal gestation period of the animal, wherein at least about 80% of a normal gestation period is complete, and wherein the animal is a mammal selected from the group consisting of bovine, equine, ovine, or porcine.
A scaffold comprising decellularized preterm placental tissue incorporated into an encasement structure, wherein the preterm placental tissue is obtained from an animal in gestation having at least about 1 week to about 20 weeks remaining in a normal gestation period of the animal, wherein at least about 80% of a normal gestation period is complete, wherein the animal is a mammal selected from the group consisting of bovine, equine, ovine, or porcine, and wherein the scaffold has a three-dimensional shape that is stable under mechanical stress.
