Through bioprinting, new cells can be transported directly to the wound site to repair the tissue. This can prove to be a boon for millions of people suffering from stomach problems.
Beijing Chinese scientists have made a major breakthrough in the field of health. Chinese researchers claim to have invented a new way of treating gastric lesions using a microrobot. All this has been done through bioprinting. This has been revealed in research published in the journal Biofabrication.
According to doctors, a gastric wall injury or wound in the digestive system is a common problem, which often requires drug therapy or invasive surgery. It is believed that now patients will be able to get rid of this kind of a mess.
According to this new research, through bioprinting, new cells can now be transported directly to the wound site to repair tissues. This can prove to be a boon for millions of people suffering from stomach problems.
Researchers at Chinguha University, Beijing, China’s capital, have given rise to a new concept of in-city in vivo bioprinting. Along with this, he has designed a micro-robot, which enters the body through an endoscope to repair tissues.
These scientists are said to have tested the microrobot and delivery system with an endoscope to mimic the biological model of the human stomach and the insertion and bioprinting operation. They performed a bioprinter test in a cell culture dish, aimed at finding out how effective this method was in healing cells and wounds.
Tests showed that the printed cells persisted at high viability and stable proliferation, which also indicated good biological function of the cells in the printed tissue.
According to Chinese researcher Shwi Thaw involved in this research, research has verified the feasibility of this concept for the treatment of gastric wall injuries and created a wide potential for healing various types of wounds inside the body without major surgery.
However, he said that more work needed to be done in this regard, including reducing the size of the bioprinting platform and developing bioink. He also said that the biological manufacturing ring, 3D printing and mechanics etc. are prominent in the development of the system.
It can be said that Chinese scientists have aroused a ray of hope for all patients suffering from stomach diseases in the world. If this is possible, then all the diseases inside the stomach can be treated without operation.
