1. A preparation method of decellularized extracellular matrix tissue paper, comprising the following steps:
(1) preparing decellularized extracellular matrix materials, comprising:
washing a tissue with water and then slicing the tissue;
disinfecting the washed sliced tissue with a peroxyacetic acid;
washing the disinfected tissue by adding sterilized water or normal saline; and
further washing the disinfected tissue with a buffer containing DNase and RNase so as to remove DNA and RNA;
(2) preparing tissue paper, comprising:
homogenizing and stirring the decellularized extracellular matrix materials from step (1) for a time ranging from 1 minute to 60 minutes to obtain a homogenate;
placing the obtained homogenate on a flat-bottom filter screen to filter out water from the obtained homogenate to obtain filtered homogenate, wherein the water passes through the flat-bottom filter screen, and air-drying the filtered homogenate on the flat-bottom filter screen to obtain air-dried homogenate, wherein placing the obtained homogenate on the flat-bottom filter screen and air-drying the filtered homogenate is performed in a range of from 1 hour to 120 hours; and
freeze-drying the air-dried homogenate at a temperature ranging from −196° C. to −20° C. for 4 hours to 48 hours, to obtain the tissue paper
(3) cross-linking the tissue paper, comprising:
cross-linking the tissue paper obtained in step (2) in a cross-linking solution, wherein the cross-linking solution in step (3) is an ethanol solution containing a cross-linking agent, the cross-linking agent comprising one or more of 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbonyldiimine, N-hydroxysuccinimide, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, and genipin, and wherein the cross-linking is conducted at a temperature of 4° C. to 27° C. for 4 hours to 12 hours; and
(4) freeze-drying the cross-linked tissue paper, comprising:
freeze-drying the cross-linked tissue paper obtained in step (3), to obtain the decellularized extracellular matrix tissue paper, wherein the freeze-drying temperature in step (4) ranges from −196° C. to −20° C. for 12 hours to 72 hours.
