DTU Aug 19 2024 A research team at the Technical University of Denmark, led by Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz, has recently uncovered new ground in tissue engineering and cell therapy by harnessing the healing power of bacteria.
They have implemented this new hydrogel - or "bactogel" - to treat muscle injuries in rats with promising results. The in vivo study showed a significant increase in muscle tissue formation and reduced fibrous tissue. With nearly 100% mechanical recovery, good biocompatibility, and healing capacity, the PAMA bactogel presents a new path in the field.
"I believe that our new results could foster better therapies against musculoskeletal injuries in athletes, the elderly, as well as in wounded soldiers or others involved in accidents giving rise to traumatic muscle injuries,"
