Tissue Engineering of Esophagus and Small Intestine in Rodent Injury Models

Regenerative constructs composed of synthetically sourced, biodegradable biomaterials seeded with smooth muscle-like cells have been leveraged to mediate regeneration of bladder and bladder-like neo-organs. Here, we describe how such constructs may be applied to catalyze regeneration of esophagus and small intestine in preclinical rodent models.
