Breakthrough to reproduce the human system

For the first time scientists use stem cells to develop key connections used by the brain for communication and control of muscles in the body, according to Top News.

The neuromuscular junctions between muscle cells and human spinal cord cells developed in the laboratory are an extremely important step in the development of human body systems ' all. in one'. These systems are models that reproduce how organs or a variety of organs work in the body.

Their use could promote medical research and drug testing efforts, potentially bringing breakthroughs in saving people much faster than the usual 10-year process to implement these Drug testing on animals and patients.

'These types of systems must be developed if you want to get the system to reproduce human body functions all in one. We have had to do many tests over the years to get this by using human-derived stem cells , 'said James Hickman, biological engineer at Central University of Florida (USA) and is the host of the study, said.

The purpose of the research is to create systems that include various miniature agencies that are connected in practical ways to simulate the function of the human body.

This technique may be more effective than testing in mice and other animals currently being done to find promising drug candidates as well as developing other medical treatments.

This successful technique began with a partnership with Brown University professor, Herman Vandenburgh, who collected muscle stem cells, through biopsy tissue collected from adult volunteers.

Nadine Guo, a research professor at Central University of Florida, conducted a series of experiments and found it necessary to gather a variety of conditions to make muscles and spinal cord cells 'fun' enough . join and form active joints.

This means exploring different cell densities and different time scales, along with other parameters, before establishing the appropriate conditions.

In addition to being a major requirement for any model of 'all-in-one' human body regeneration, such nerve-muscle junctions themselves are important tools for research. .
