Susan Lim: Trasplantirajmo stanice, ne organe

Pionir u kirurgiji, Susan Lim, izvela je prvu transplantaciju jetre u Aziji.  Ali se javila moralna dilema oko transplantacija (od kuda dolaze donirane jetre ...) koja ju je navela da bolje pogleda i pita: Da li bi mogli transplantirati stanice, ne cijele organe?  Na INK konferenciji, priča o svojem novom istraživanju, otkriva regenerativne stanice na iznenađujućim mjestima.

The shortage of donor organs has left thousands waiting and dying each year, yet new science points to a radically different future. Stem cells, even harvested from something as common as body fat, offer hope for repairing damaged tissues without the need for risky, controversial organ transplants. Early research already explores restoring vision to millions and healing damaged hearts with cells, not whole organs. As medicine shifts from replacement to repair, the promise of cell therapy grows ever closer to reality.
