India developed a new method of creating organs

The Indian Institute of Technology (IITD), in collaboration with the Institute of Medical Research (AIIMS), has developed a new method to create replacement organs for lost or impaired human organs. work.

IITD engineers have created 'scaffolds' so that stem cells can rely on them to grow into tissues, thereby becoming a complete internal organ. These 'frames' are made from biodegradable polymer that are currently being tested on animals at a research institute in Paris (France).

Professor Bhuvanesh Gupta, leader of the research team, said that when the study is successful, it will create a breakthrough in the field of replacement organ transplantation without the rejection of the body to the body The organ transplant is developed from stem cells taken from the healthy part of the organ that needs to be replaced by the patient itself.

In addition, the extremely difficult issue of finding donated replacement organs will be easily resolved. The new method will also help heart patients avoid complicated heart surgeries, .

The new technique uses bio-polymer fibers to knit into products of the same shape and size as internal organs that need to be replaced. For example, tubular structures use plaited or braided methods. Once completed, these polymer structures are coated on the surface of a layer of protein so that the grown stem cells can easily grow. By biopsy, just using a small amount of stem cells can produce a complete new organ.

After being replaced to replace the broken function in the body, the new organ 'framework' will drain itself within a few months, enabling the new internal organs to function completely normally.

The above work is a 10-year study result of engineers working at IITD's Biological Engineering Center in collaboration with professors from Uppsala University (Sweden) and Bordeaux University (France).
