stem cell therapies, bioprinting and other technologies are
transforming the future of healthcare.
Stem cells are used to replace
dead or diseased cells e.g.
blood stem cell transplant.
Stem cells are being used to 3D print
tissues and organs.
Stem cells are used in clinical trials to regenerate tissues and organs
for transplantation e.g.
Lungs harvested
from cadaver donor
Cells are
removed
Stem cells taken
from patient recipient
are seeded into
donor lungs
Seeded lungs are
transplanted into
patient
Stem cells are used to induce the regeneration
of cells.
