Therefore, recapitulating the islet niche is a critical objective to move the field of islet transplantation forward.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>As a first step to recreating the islet microenvironment, we have recently developed a detergent-free decellularization method to obtain a decellularized solubilized ECM (dsECM) powder from human pancreas. We have also shown that this gentler method (compared to traditional detergent-based methods) allows for thorough preservation of the molecular fingerprint of the innate organ. Furthermore, incorporation of dsECM in alginate-microencapsulated human islets, showed a significant increase in insulin secretion, compared to both free and alginate-only encapsulated islets. However, it is also essential to test the interaction of dsECM with multiple cell types to establish its safety for transplantation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results and discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Herein, we present a comprehensive <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> evaluation of the cytotoxicity, hemocompatibility and immunocompatibility of dsECM to establish a concentration range where it deemed safe and biocompatible. Furthermore, dsECM-based bioinks were coaxially bioprinted and the resulting construct's biocompatibility and vascularization potential were also evaluated <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2025.1518665","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]],"date-time":"2025-04-25T05:24:30Z","timestamp":1745558670000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comprehensive biocompatibility profiling of human pancreas-derived biomaterial"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Amish","family":"Asthana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Gallego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quentin","family":"Perrier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamara","family":"Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lori N.","family":"Byers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Ho-Heo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wonwoo","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Tamburrini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arunkumar","family":"Rengaraj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deborah","family":"Chaimov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Tomei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher A.","family":"Fraker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang Jin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Orlando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actbio.2023.09.034","article-title":"Decellularized human pancreatic extracellular matrix-based physiomimetic microenvironment for human islet culture","volume":"171","author":"Asthana","year":"2023","journal-title":"Acta Biomater."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"120613","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biomaterials.2020.120613","article-title":"Comprehensive characterization of the human pancreatic proteome for bioengineering applications","volume":"270","author":"Asthana","year":"2021","journal-title":"mars"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.1038\/nri.2016.58","article-title":"Inflammasomes: mechanism of assembly, regulation and signalling","volume":"16","author":"Broz","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat.
