“…The digestion process for dECM is typically a combination of an acid with pepsin. The most common acid used is HCl at a concentration of 0.01 M [ 14 , 56 , 82 , 86 , 87 , 90 , 92 , 109 , 111 , 117 , 138 , 143 , 163 , 168 , 171 , 172 , 173 , 187 , 195 , 197 , 199 , 200 , 202 , 203 , 211 , 227 , 237 , 321 , 324 ], though acetic acid at a concentration of 0.5 M is another popular acid [ 83 , 96 , 107 , 114 , 115 , 125 , 136 , 139 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 , 201 , 320 ], with both used at a ratio of 1 g of dECM powder:100 mg pepsin:100 mL acid and stirred for 48 h. There are different effects of the type and concentration of acid used, with 0.1 M HCl accelerating the digestion, creating higher cell viability, migration, and proliferation, and enhancing the ability to induce tissue formation, though it results in a softer and more unstable gel than acetic acid [ 325 ]. There are also optional steps after solubilizing dECM; the first is to filter the colloidal dispersion to remove the undigested particles that might affect later use [ 125 , 159 , ...…”
