Methods are disclosed for dissecting a mucosa and a submucosa from a muscularis propria from a region of an organ of a subject, wherein the organ is not the esophagus. In some embodiments, the organ is in the gastrointestinal tract. These methods include injecting submucosally into the organ of the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising an extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel to form a cushion between the submucosa and the underlying muscularis propria at the region of the organ, wherein the ECM hydrogel has the following characteristics: a) a time to 50% gelation of less than 30 minutes at a temperature of about 37 DEG C; b) a flow viscosity suitable for infusion into the organ; and c) a stiffness of about 10 to about 400 Pascal (Pa). 公开了用于从受试者的器官区域的固有肌层中剥离粘膜和粘膜下层的方法，其中器官不是食管。在一些实施方案中，器官在胃肠道中。这些方法包括将包含细胞外基质(ECM)水凝胶的药物组合物粘膜下注射到受试者的器官中，以在器官区域的粘膜下层和下层固有肌层之间形成垫，其中ECM水凝胶具有以下特征：a)在约37℃的温度下达到50％凝胶化的时间少于30分钟；b)适于输注到器官的流动粘度；和c)约10至约400帕斯卡(Pa)的刚度。
