JessiccaHybrid Hearts – Would it be the Permanent Solution for Heart Related Diseases Patients?
August 18th 2009 09:19
Did you know that most of the heart related diseases patients are always living in an uncomfortable condition, where their daily life normally being spoiled up by the sudden heart attacks!
When the condition starts to turn out badly, the patient needs to undergo a heart transplant surgery. However, it is a very risky surgery, where the patient might only have about 50 percent of living chance, even after the transplant is succeed, as the heart might provoke the catastrophic immune response and causing death!
In order to overcome the above matter, the hybrid heart concept has been applied and used in the medical field. Frankly, the idea is very simple, where you only have to take an organ from a human donor/animal and use a mild detergent to strip away flesh, cells and DNA. This process is necessary, as it to reveal the inner cells, “Scaffold” of collagen, which is an immunologically inert protein!
The Scaffold of collagen is the important cells, as it claimed can be grown and regenerate by itself instantly.
Doris Taylor, a renowned stem cell scientist from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis said that they’ve already applied the concept with kidney, lung, pancreas, muscle and heart.
Although this concept is still in early stage, but Taylor believed that it’s going to be one of the latest and popular technologies in medical niche in near future.
