 Hydrogels and reproductive medicine
             A new era in reproduction and regenerative medicine: Extracellular matrix hydrogels and coatings
•Further processing acellular scaffold:
• Sections or blocks for three‐dimensional cell culture systems.
• ECM hydrogels and coatings: in vivo and in vitro applications.
•ECM powders, converted in protein
monomeric components (solubilized):
Solubilize ECM
          • At physiological temperature: spontaneous
Decellularized tissues and ECM hydrogels represent an interesting
 reformation of the intramolecular bonds.
platform for in vitro and in vivo REPROTEN applications • Never done before for reproductive tissues.
