The present invention relates to a cartilage matrix having a high decellularization level and a low glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content. The cartilage matrix has desirable characteristics, for example cohesiveness, adhesiveness and malleability, for use in cartilage repair. The invention also relates to a method of preparing the cartilage matrix, comprising decellularizing a cartilage to produce a decellularized cartilage, and deglycosylating the decellularized cartilage. |
