Ohio State Cellular Regeneration Research

In summary, there has been recent discussion about cellular regeneration research conducted at the Wexner Medical Center in Ohio State University by Chandan K Sen and his team. While there are popular news articles on the topic, the individual is looking for a more reliable source of information. They mention that Chandan K Sen has published numerous reputable papers in wound regeneration, but they are unable to locate the specific paper in question. It is noted that the research has only been done on test species in lab conditions and not yet on humans, but it shows promise for potential human testing in the future. The individual also mentions a preview of the research published in Nature Nanotechnology and speculates that the FDA may approve it for human testing within the next three years.

I've seen some popular news articles discussing cellular regeneration research carried out at the Wexner medical center in Ohio State University by Chandan K Sen and others . I was wondering if anyone had a source for more information (and more reliable than the popular press) on the topic. See for instance http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170807/ohio-state-researchers-report-breakthrough-in-cell-regeneration.

I should note biology isn't my field.

I cannot find it. One comment - works in lab conditions on test species, not humans. That is often a very big leap. And yes it would be great.
 

FAQ: Ohio State Cellular Regeneration Research

1. What is cellular regeneration research?

Cellular regeneration research is the study of how cells in living organisms are able to repair and replace damaged or dead cells, with the goal of finding ways to enhance this natural process in order to treat diseases and injuries.

2. Why is Ohio State University involved in cellular regeneration research?

Ohio State University has a renowned research program in the field of regenerative medicine, and has made significant contributions to the understanding of cellular regeneration. The university's state-of-the-art facilities and collaboration with other institutions and industries make it an ideal location for this type of research.

3. What types of diseases and injuries can be treated with cellular regeneration research?

Cellular regeneration research has the potential to treat a wide range of diseases and injuries, including heart disease, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It can also aid in the healing of wounds and damaged tissues.

4. How does cellular regeneration research differ from stem cell research?

Cellular regeneration research focuses on understanding and enhancing the body's natural ability to repair and replace cells. This can involve studying different types of cells and how they function, as well as identifying factors that can stimulate or inhibit cellular regeneration. Stem cell research, on the other hand, involves the use of stem cells to replace damaged cells or tissues in the body.

5. What are some potential future developments in cellular regeneration research?

Some potential future developments in cellular regeneration research include the use of regenerative medicine to treat age-related degenerative diseases, the development of personalized treatments based on a patient's own cells, and the use of gene editing technologies to enhance cellular regeneration. Researchers are also exploring the potential of 3D printing technology to create customized tissue and organ replacements.
