Scientists have created the first Russian cell preparation for bone restoration after complex fractures. In this respect informs TASS refers to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
“We have created a product that makes bone regeneration faster. This was achieved using regenerative medicine methods using bone marrow cells that we obtained from patients themselves. Later, on their basis, we augmented the volumetric mass necessary for surgeons to fill the voids in the area of complex fractures and bone injuries, for example, after shrapnel wounds, explained Aleksey Lundup, head of the Center for Cell Technologies at RUDN University.
It takes 50-100 million bone marrows from the victim to create the drug. A cell culture is then isolated from the tissue, amplified and grown to the desired volume so that the ratio of new cells to donor cells is 20 to 1. The culture is then planted on a biocompatible material and artificialized. bone using a bioreactor. The standard object of the bone block is 4x1x1 cm. For very serious injuries, several pieces can be used in a row.
The technology has already been tested on animals and is currently being tested on humans.
