(Morning News) Researchers at the University of Israel artificially synthesized the 3D human spinal tissue in the world, which may allow the paralyzed to walk again.
Xinhua News Agency reported that the University of Israel issued a statement on Monday (February 7) that researchers at the school's Sagol Renewal Biotechnology Center designed 3D human spinal cord tissues with human materials and cells, and put it on itIn the laboratory model with chronic paralysis, the results show that the success rate of the laboratory model to restore walking ability is about 80%.
This technology uses a fat tissue sample in the patient's abdomen.After the researchers separate the cells in the fat tissue from the extracellular matrix, they use genetic engineering to redefine the cells. By simulating the development of human embryo spinal cord development, it translates it into a neural network 3D implant containing motor neurons.
Statement saying that the school is preparing for the clinical trials of 3D spinal tissues. Researchers hope to implant the organization into paralyzed people in a few years, so that they can stand and walk again.Research results have been published in the magazine of advanced science in Germany.
