Stem cell therapy will help restore lung tissue
The Singapore Research Agency on October 28 said the scientists created a new breakthrough when discovering stem cell therapy in the treatment and regeneration of lung tissue.
Scientists at the Genome Research Institute and the Institute of Molecular Biology at the Singapore Department of Science and Technology Research have discovered a special type of cell extracted from stem cells in the lungs, known by name. called peripheral respiratory stem cells (DASCs) .
These cells play an important role in creating new pulmonary vesicles that help replace and regenerate destroyed lung tissue. New lung bags are small air pockets in the lungs, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the blood.
The scientists conducted research by developing clones of adult stem cells taken from three different parts of the lungs, including nasal epithelial stem cells, tracheal respiratory tracheal cells, and Peripheral respiratory stem cells.
After conducting the study, these three types of cells all result in 99% duplication of genetics, but what surprised the scientists was that among them only the peripheral respiratory stem cells formed airbags when cloned in vitro.
The finding is seen as an important key to opening new insights into treatment regimens for patients with lung diseases.
Recent medical studies have shown that stem cells can be developed into a special type of cell, capable of restoring or replacing the body's organs or organs.
This opens up a new treatment for current incurable diseases and even helps the body create a new body to replace the damaged organ.
