Abstract: Provided are methods for preparing sterilized, gelled, solubilized extracellular matrix (ECM) compositions useful as cell growth substrates. Also provided are compositions prepared according to the methods as well as uses for the compositions. In one embodiment a device, such as a prosthesis, is provided which comprises an inorganic matrix into which the gelled, solubilized ECM is dispersed to facilitate in-growth of cells into the ECM and thus adaptation and/or attachment of the device to a patient.

Abstract: Provided are methods for preparing non-gelling, solubilized extracellular matrix (ECM) materials useful as cell growth substrates. Also provided are compositions prepared according to the methods as well as uses for the compositions. In one embodiment a device, such as a prosthesis, is provided which comprises an inorganic matrix into which the non-gelling, solubilized ECM composition is dispersed to facilitate in-growth of cells into the ECM and thus adaptation and/or attachment of the device to a patient. In another embodiment, the composition is delivered intraarticularly, intrathecally, intraoccularly, intracranially, and into pleural space.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method for producing decellularized colonic extracellular matrix material. A decellularized colonic extracellular matrix material also is provided, along with uses for the material. Methods of use of the decellularized colonic extracellular matrix material also are provided, including methods of treating a defective, diseased, or damaged tissue or organ in a patient, and/or methods of treating esophageal disease, short bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or mucositis in a patient.
