Decellularization is the name for a tissue engineering technique which is designed to strip the cells from a donor organ, thus leaving nothing but connective tissue that once held the cells in place. It’s referred to as a “ghost organ” for it’s pale appearance. It can then be reseeded with the patient’s cells. The goal is to render an organ that can be transplanted into a patient without of the tissue being rejected.
