The present work demonstrates a novel standardized, time-efficient, and reproducible protocol for the decellularization of solid tissues for obtaining a ready to use bioscaffold. As proof of concept, human primary osteoblasts were seeded into a rat kidney bioscaffold. The cells spread homogeneously within the matrix, proliferated under dynamic culture conditions and maintained their original phenotype. Moreover, the cells also showed a strong metabolic activity by remodeling the bioscaffold toward a bone-like extracellular matrix. Thus, the decellularization technique potentially offers a universally applicable and easily producible scaffold that addresses the yet unsolved problem of vascularization of bioscaffolds.
