A complex skin structure (such as a nipple) can be successfully decellularized under conditions that prevent extracellular matrix crosslinking or undue matrix degradation [1]. This treatment removes cellular antigens, thus mitigating immunorejection concerns and enabling allogeneic transplantation for nipple reconstruction after mastectomy. Non-human primate studies have shown that host-mediated re-vascularization and re-epithelization of the decellularized nipples occurs within six weeks and nipple projection is maintained over the same timeframe [1]. The mechanisms by which a decellularized graft located on the surface of the body heals are incompletely understood, but are likely to follow a similar path to decellularized allografts that are implanted within the body, with some modifications. The following is a description of probable temporal events leading to healing under this circumstance.
