Abstract: The decellularized extracellular matrix constitutes a pivotal biomaterial created by
decellularizing the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). This material serves as a supportive
medium for intricate cellular interactions, fostering cell growth, differentiation, and organization.
However, challenges persist in decellularization, necessitating a balance between preserving the
structural integrity of the ECM and achieving effective cellular removal. One approach to
enhancing decellularization involves pre-eliminating unnecessary tissues, effectively reducing
final DNA levels to < 50 ng per mg of ECM on pre-processed tissues. Although this strategic
step augments decellularization efficiency, the current manual execution method depends on
operator skill. To address this limitation, we propose an automated raw tissue slicing system that
does not require prior tissue preparation for slicing. Through carefully controlled tissue
applanation pressure and oscillatory incisions with optimized parameters, the system achieved
precision < ± 10 µm in obtaining submillimeter tissue slices of the porcine cornea, while avoiding significant microscopic complications in the tissue structure, as observed by tissue
histology. These findings suggest the system’s capability to streamline and automate preliminary
tissue slicing operations. The efficacy of this approach for decellularization was validated by
processing porcine corneas using the proposed system, and subsequently decellularizing the
processed tissues. DNA level analysis revealed that sliced, subdivided tissues created by the
proposed system could expedite DNA reduction even at the initial steps of the decellularization
process, suggesting the promise of enhancing the overall decellularization procedure.
