Esophageal reconstruction is a challenging procedure, and development of a tissue-engineered esophagus that enables regeneration of esophageal mucosa and muscle and that can be implanted as an artificial graft is necessary. Here, we present our protocol to generate an artificial esophagus, including scaffold manufacturing, bioreactor cultivation, and various surgical techniques.

We have developed an eye irritation test which utilizes a three dimensional reconstructed human cornea-like epithelial (RhCE) tissue model. The test is able to discriminate between ocular irritant and corrosive materials (GHS Categories 1 and 2 combined) and those that do not require labeling (GHS No Category).

This manuscript details the fabrication of micro-tissue engineered neural networks: three-dimensional micron-sized constructs comprised of long aligned axonal tracts spanning aggregated neuronal population(s) encased in a tubular hydrogel. These living scaffolds can serve as functional relays to reconstruct or modulate neural circuitry or as biofidelic test-beds mimicking gray-white matter neuroanatomy.
FAQs
The protocol’s main control points are tissue preparation, placement or assembly of structural components, culture conditions, and evaluation. Coordinating these stages helps researchers examine whether the resulting structure develops the intended architecture and function. Because each stage can affect the next, a standardized workflow makes comparisons between reconstructed tissues and experimental conditions more meaningful.
Tissue organization preserves relationships among tumor cells and surrounding cells that may be difficult to examine in conventional cell cultures. This arrangement can help researchers study tumor growth, invasion, and interactions with nearby tissue components. The resulting model therefore supports investigation of cancer behavior in a setting that retains more aspects of tissue structure.
Controlled culture conditions provide a consistent environment in which reconstructed tissues can develop and be evaluated. Changes in those conditions may influence the resulting architecture or function, so researchers must relate observations to the conditions used during culture. This control is important when comparing disease-related changes or responses to therapeutic treatments across experiments.
A typical workflow begins with tissue preparation, followed by assembly or placement of structural components. The developing construct is then maintained under controlled culture conditions before researchers evaluate its architecture and function. Keeping these stages organized allows investigators to connect preparation and assembly choices with the properties observed in the resulting tissue model.
Researchers may use reconstructed tissues when they need to examine tumor growth, invasion, or interactions with surrounding cells in an organized tissue setting. They can also apply these models to study responses to therapeutic treatments. Conventional cell cultures remain useful, but reconstructed systems add tissue organization that may support more biologically relevant cancer experiments.
Evaluation focuses on the architecture and function of the resulting tissue, providing evidence about how successfully the reconstruction reflects the intended organization. In cancer research, these observations can be related to tumor growth, invasion, cellular interactions, or treatment response. Such findings may help assess whether the model is useful for more biologically relevant and potentially more translatable studies.
