3D-printing of human organs closer to reality

Researchers have designed a new bioink which allows small human-sized airways to be 3D-bioprinted with the help of patient cells for the first time. The 3D-printed constructs are biocompatible and support new blood vessel growth into the transplanted material. This is an important first step towards 3D-printing organs.

Muscle gene linked to type 2 diabetes

People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others. Now a research team has discovered that in type 2 diabetes, a specific gene is of great importance for the ability of muscle stem cells to create new mature muscle cells.

MSCs Stem Cells with Severe COVID-19 ARDS

There is an ongoing critical need to improve therapeutic strategies for COVID-19 pneumonia, particularly in the most severely affected patients. Adult mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) infusions have the potential to benefit critically ill patients with acute respiratory syndrome SARS-COV-2 infection, but clinical data supporting efficacy are lacking.

What are Stem cells?

The word stem-cells is more and more used out of the medical circles, common people have hard time to understand or explain what are they, where do they come from. Why are they our best friend when it comes to medical rejuvenation: build a 3D organ or even help the human body to rebuild damaged tissues. Why stem cells are not more commonly used to cure or improve patients with critical diseases? What are the sources? How do I get stem cells treatments?

Stem Cells and Covid-19 Recovery

Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization having common symptoms such as dry cough, tiredness and light fever. Patients affected with a severe illness due to Sars-Cov-2 usually have difficulty breathing, chest pain or pressure, loss of speech or movement. Latest Stem Cells treatments showed promising results when medication doesn't work and when hours can be life threatening for the patient.
