Stem Cells Spawn First Drug-Free Windpipe Transplant

Doctors operating on a 30-year-old Colombian woman restored her ability to breathe freely with the world's first transplanted windpipe specially treated to prevent organ rejection.
The airway connecting Claudia Castillo Sanchez's left lung to her windpipe collapsed after a persistent tuberculosis infection, leaving her short of breath and unable to perform routine daily activities. Efforts to prop it open failed, leaving Spanish doctors two options: remove the lung or replace the airway using an experimental technique tried only in animals 
Tissue engineering triumph: Doctors transplant a trachea made from the patient's own stem cells

The medical journal Lancet has just announced that doctors have performed the first successful trachea transplant using a trachea crafted from the patient's own stem cells. The New York Times is hailing this as a revolutionary step in regenerative medicine. The surgery took place in Barcelona this past June. Researchers from universities in Spain, Britain and Italy collaborated on the preparation. The patient's original trachea--actually one of her bronchi--had been damaged by severe tuberculosis.

Putting Immunity in a Test Tube
jane2007 submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.time.com)
To streamline vaccine research and hasten the eradication of global killers, such as AIDS, VaxDesign company has created a simulated human immune system, called the Modular Immune in Vitro Construct (MIMIC for short). The dime-sized immune systems can predict how humans will respond to new vaccines.
How to print out a blood vessel
sumsung submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.nature.com)
A tissue engineering group has succeeded in creating functional blood vessels and cardiac tissue, using a printer that dispenses cells instead of ink. The work, published this month in Tissue Engineering, is among the first to produce functional three-dimensional tissue using a printer, and a milestone on the way to the goal of printing out whole organs.
The odontogenic potential of STRO-1 sorted rat dental pulp stem cells in vitro
BIOBOSS submitted, created time 2 years 11 months (www3.interscience.wiley.com)
The presence of heterogeneous cell populations in dental pulp may count for the considerable variation in the outcome of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Here, we intended to determine whether a minor cell sub-population of high proliferation and odontogenic potential existed among a larger compartment of perhaps more committed progenitors.
Osteoinductive biomaterials - properties and relevance in bone repair
BIOBOSS submitted, created time 2 years 11 months (www3.interscience.wiley.com)
The need for bone tissue regeneration is continuously expanding due to the improvement of life quality and the consequent increase in life expectancy. Although natural bone grafts have shown excellent clinical successes, their use is associated with some important drawbacks, limited availability being one of the most important. Cell- and growth-factor based tissue engineering provides a promising alternative to natural bone grafts; however, the performance of tissue-engineered constructs often depends on the used carrier.
