New York: Stem cells have the potential to adapt to different types of cells based on their properties. Now that small capsules have been filled with special stem cells and inserted into rats, a great improvement has been noticed in the heart affected by a heart attack.
Severe damage to the heart muscle after a severe heart attack or heart attack. To compensate, Rice University scientists have developed small capsules full of stem cells and have been shown to repair parts of the affected heart.
However, after a heart attack, the heart tries to repair itself and repair the damage to the heart muscle. But some muscles become unrecoverable and cause many other problems ranging from irregular heartbeats and this increases the risk of further heart attacks.
But when the stem cells are placed on the heart, they do not stay there for long. This is because the heart rejects them as aliens and they begin to descend from the heart. To solve this problem, they chose Mason Camel Stem Cells (MCS) and filled them with a special type of hydrogen capsule made from brown algae.
Central scientist Ravi Ghanta said that unexpectedly, stem cells began to die after transplantation and they did not become part of the heart, but another thing happened. Fortunately, some chemicals were released from the stem cells, which began to repair the heart and reduce the severity of the injury. Under the same concept, it is now possible to somehow keep the cells above the heart alive for a long time and keep the affected heart healthy.
The experts added 30,000 1.5-millimeter cells to one capsule and implanted them into the affected hearts of mice. Mice that received stem cells had two and a half times more heart improvement. This clearly means that even if the stem cells do not stick to the heart, they can still play an important role.
