Reconstruction of the human nipple-areolar complex: a tissue engineering approach

Conclusion: Tissue engineering allowed us to create an acellular and biocompatible NAC with a preserved morphology, microarchitecture, and matrix proteins while maintaining their cell growth potential and ability to regenerate the skin epidermis. Thus, tissue engineering could provide a novel alternative to personalized and natural NAC reconstruction.PMID:38425730 | PMC:PMC10902434 | DOI:10.3389/fbioe.2023.1295075
