Galvanizing Blood Vessel Cells for Organ Transplantation
Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a breakthrough in inducing human endothelial cells to multiply in the laboratory.
Endothelial cells, which form the inner lining of blood vessels, play a crucial role in regulating blood flow, inflammation, and healing. However, traditional methods for growing these cells in the lab have been limited, with cells losing their functionality after a certain number of divisions.
The new method involves treating adult endothelial cells with a small molecule that triggers them to divide hundreds of times without signs of aging, mutation, or loss of function.
The new method produces more than enough cells to replace damaged blood vessels or nourish organs for transplantation.
This preclinical study offers promising results for organ transplantation and vascular repair.
