Decullarization is a process that removes any living cells from an organ in order to make it ready for a transplant, the cells from the transplantee is removed leaving an "organ scaffold" behind, which is then coated with living cells taken from the one who is to receive the transplant.
The aim of Regenerative tissue research is to enhance the human body's ability to regenerate tissue i.e healing. As humans, we developed the ability to scar rather than the ability regrow tissue, which is observed in other species, like newts, lizards et al.
The reason humans developed scarring was to prevent infections more effectively rather than growing a new potentionally infected tissue iirc. And with research, they hope to figure out what part of our genetics is responsible for that.
Isografting organs is a term that basically means an organ has a complete match to the recipient of a transplant, wether that is through the means of a cloned organ or an organ from an identical twin.
/*Note all of the above is experimental obviously (and years, if not decades away, from common practice), but both Decellularization and Regenaritive tissue research have been tested. Decellularization has so far created a rat heart and to some extent skin. Regenerative tissue has through tests proven to be able to regrow a finger-tip and muscular tissue.
[Edit] I'm no biologist or doctor, I only know the above after watching an episode on Natonal Geographic, so the above account can have some errors since my mind may have overlooked and not understood everything in that episode.
