From Basic Science to Clinical Application: Biomechanical Modeling of Wharton’s Jelly for Regenerative Therapies

Summary

In regenerative medicine, biomechanical characterization is essential for ensuring structural stability while promoting tissue regeneration through mechanotransduction and other mechanisms. While synthetic substitutes have been proposed, challenges persist in achieving optimal biointegration and controlled degradation. Decellularized tissues, particularly perinatal-derived matrices, offer a sustainable and effective alternative. This presentation focuses on the biomechanical characterization of Wharton’s jelly derivatives, aiming to develop a model material for fundamental research and a promising therapeutic substitute for clinical applications. The discussion will cover experimental and computational studies supported by the French National Research Agency (ANR).
