Regenerative medicine approach to heart valve replacement.
Approximately 275 000 patients receive a heart valve replacement annually. Their choices and the choices of their surgeons are limited to either a metal valve replacement or a preserved (typically allogeneic or xenogeneic) tissue valve replacement. These patients are then subject to the morbidity associated with anticoagulation when mechanical valves are used or the limited durability of a biol...
متن کاملBio-printing Damaged Tissues: A Novel Approach in Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine, deals with functional reconstruction of damaged tissues or organs after severe injuries chronic diseases, while body's natural responses are not sufficient. In this field, stem cells due to their exclusive potential in self-renewal and differentiation into other cell types, are the main sources of functional cells in regenerative medicine. However, challenges in stem cell...
متن کاملTowards an integrated approach to health and medicine in Africa
UNLABELLED This article frames the intersections of medicine and humanities as intrinsic to understanding the practice of health care in Africa. Central to this manuscript, which draws on empirical findings on the interplay between HIV and AIDS and alternative medicine in Zimbabwe is the realisation that very limited research has been undertaken to examine 'HIV/AIDS patient behaviour' with resp...
متن کاملRethinking Regenerative Medicine: A Macrophage-Centered Approach
Regenerative medicine, a multi-disciplinary approach that seeks to restore form and function to damaged or diseased tissues and organs, has evolved significantly during the past decade. By adapting and integrating fundamental knowledge from cell biology, polymer science, and engineering, coupled with an increasing understanding of the mechanisms which underlie the pathogenesis of specific disea...
متن کاملIxCELL-DCM: rejuvenation for cardiac regenerative therapy?
The possibility of tissue rejuvenation through regenerative therapies has generated great excitement among both the scientific community and the public, especially for conditions with perceived irreversible tissue loss such as myocardial injury. Groundbreaking approaches have experimentally identified reparative capacity in the human heart, suggesting that if this process could be harnessed, th...
