Unable To Have A Child? Scientists Developed An Artificial Ovary by ojiezaky(m): 6:40am On Jul 03, 2018 |
Women unable to have children have been given new hope – after scientists developed an artificial ovary. A synthetic organ – made out of the woman's own tissue – could be transplanted into a female left infertile due to medical treatment. She could then go on to produce eggs naturally. The experiments will be unveiled today by Dr Susanne Pors from the Rigshospitalet Laboratory of Reproductive Biology in Copenhagen at the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) conference in Barcelona. Dr Pors said the artificial ovary technique allowed human eggs to develop 'in a tissue bed which is free of malignancies' in the laboratory. She added: 'This is the first time that isolated human follicles have survived in a decellularised human scaffold, and, as a proof-of-concept, it could offer a new strategy in fertility preservation without risk of malignant cell re-occurrence.' The breakthrough technique is being developed to help women and girls who face chemotherapy for cancer treatment. Chemotherapy drugs can render a woman infertile as they can destroy ovaries. One approach to prevent this is to freeze ovarian tissue – which produces eggs – ahead of chemo treatment and replace it afterwards. But cancer patients risk being re-exposed to cancerous cells harboured in the removed ovarian tis The new technique prevents this by stripping out all of the patients' potentially cancerous cells from the ovarian tissue, leaving just a 'scaffold' – a framework of protein which no longer contains any cells, removing the chance cancer could be lurking. http://medfort.com.ng/scientists-developed-an-artificial-ovary/

God is a creator therefore real children of God must resemble their father by creating things. Kudos to this great mind!!! |
