Abstract (original English)

Regeneration of large-sized acute and chronic wounds provoked by severe burns and diabetes is a major concern worldwide. The availability of immunocompatible matrix with a wide range of regenerative medical applications, more specifically, for nonhealing chronic wounds is an unmet clinical need. Extrapolating the in vitro tissue engineering knowledge for in vivo guided wound regeneration could be a meaningful approach. This study aimed to develop a completely human-derived and minimally immune-responsive scaffold comprising of acellular amniotic membrane (AM), fibrin (FIB) and hyaluronic acid (HA), termed AMFIBHA. The potential for in vivo guidance of skin regeneration was validated through in vitro dermal tissue assembly on the combination scaffold by growing human fibroblasts, differentiated from human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs). An effective method was standardized for obtaining decellularized amnion (dAM) for assuring better immuno-compatibility. The biochemical stability of dAM upon plasma sterilization (pdAM) confirms its suitability for both in vitro and in vivo tissue engineering. The problem of poor handling characteristics was solved by combining the dried dAM with fibrin derived from a clinically used fibrin sealant kit. An additional constituent HA, derived from human umbilical cord tissue, imparts the required water absorption and reten
