Again.I have yet to see one single person in a forum be benefited by these so called revolutionary methods.
Forget about anything you read.
panos, I try to be respectful of your posts but this is just completely illogical. Any new and potentially groundbreaking pursuit in any field is going to take years to implement. Before its "discovery" in 1928, penicillin's potential uses in medicine was documented in 1877. Should people have just ignored it and forgotten what they'd read?
I get that you want things fastfaster than is possiblebut using the fact that research takes time as an impetus to discount it entirely is just bogus. The dextran hydrogel or skin printing might not end up being the answer for scars, but that doesn't mean the entire study of regenerative medicine is meaningless.
BTW, a little girl did have a windpipe made from fibers and stem cells implanted successfully into her throat. She went on to die from lung complications but at the time of her death the new windpipe was working beautifully.

Yeah hopefully these revolutionary treatments will be indeed revolutionary.
Till then i know that the only cure to everything is red blood cells.Only the blood does the real job.

There are no revolutionary treatment for scars. Everything out there only gives u improvement.

Yeah, they're doing something similar at Wake Forest University with Dr. Anthony Atala's team. However, it's important to note that this method would likely still lead to scarring around the edges of where the transplant took place. Atala's team was working on printing the skin directly onto the patient. But in both cases, these treatments are probably years awaymuch longer than the 5 years van Hengel was quoted as sayingbecause the safety standards and testing phase would be much more rigorous since it wouldn't be defined as a medical device (at least not in the USA).
I'd also be curious to see if it could print all the skin's appendages (hair, sebaceous and sweat glands etc.) or if it would be void of those features like current skin grafts. Still, this is another promising line of research, no doubt about that. I'm still more interested in the dextran hydrogel for now because it has pre-clinical proof of concept and could get to the market much faster.
Yeah you are probably right. Once it works for burn patients only then we can see cosmetic applications. I am also interested in ATP (adenosine triphospate) . There is already a cream called CULT 51 in the UK for anti ageing.
it's hydrogel dextran really revolutionary? nobody tolk no more about this, nothing comment non about pigs tests.
Actually, several very recent posts have discussed it. They're conducting the test with larger animals right now. When I talked to Dr. Sun he said he didn't expect them to publish those results, but he doesn't work at JHU so he could be wrong. A few pages ago I posted a link to an article that quoted Gerecht as saying that they hoped it would be being used on humans in 18-24 months.
the whole face printing seems so far from now. -__-
Yeah, most of the stuff in the video is a good bit away. But who knows, we could be wrong about that.

Hi golfpanther.
Why do you think it is that they won't publish the results of the tests on larger animals in the case Sun is right? Just wondering.

I'm not really sure. I went back and looked at the e-mail he sent me and this is what he said, verbatim:
I am not sure if there will be papers out from jhu on this project. You may try to talk to dr Harmon , dr Gerecht or even John fini.
So really, he's just speculating and not sure because he's no longer there. I've reached out to Harmon, Gerecht and Fini but haven't heard back from any of them as of yet. chuckstonchew was talking to Dr. Harmon a while ago though and the Facebook moderator has talked to Fini.
BTW, Sun is an extremely nice and responsive guy. I wish more people involved in this field were as forthcoming as him. He did say that he's continuing his work into scar free healing at Columbia Universitywhere he now works.

It seems kind of strange to me if they didn't publish the results. Publishing them only seems to be in everyone's interest? But hey I'm just a layman.
I should check out Columbia university's website to see what they're working on.

Pretty sure he's working on the exact same kind of thing; hydrogels to promote scar free healing. He said as much in his e-mail and his little bio (which for some reason is listed on the dentistry page along with a bunch of other people that don't seem to belong there) indicates that as well:
I'll do what I can. I'm going to follow up with them in September (trials in larger mammals were supposed to be this summer). Hopefully, there are positive things to report.
I'm just falling again ... be with this kind of problem is very screwed. I try to be positive but it's really really fucked up we were born into a caveman stage in regard to medicine. the genetic cures will answer within far future
the medical doctors say ''in medicine nothing is deterministic'' hydrogel that means a lottery would work and if it works will not in all cases, there are people with problems of disease and unknown things that probably will make it possible for hydrogel not work .
sorry for the bad vibe but you be the only ones who can understand this feeling but not like reading some this.
i have to say
I'm sure many here are in psychiatric treatment with anxiety antidepressant and much more medication because it produces them
I can see that you suffer a lot, I recommend you to read the book 'Physics of the Future' (author: Michio Kaku), an entire chapter in that book is devoted to the future of medicine and the whole book content is based on Kaku's interviews with 300 of the world's leading scientists (such as for example Anthony Atala, so that means it is not some SF or pseudo-scientific bullshit), I believe it has been translated into Spanish and you can find it in any bookstore, so I agree with you that genomic medicine will not bear any fruit in the near future, it is over-hyped, however I believe that regenerative medicine is more promising than genomic medicine and it will start bearing fruit in the not too distant future and that the promise of regenerative medicine goes far beyond scarless skin wound healing. And I generally agree with you that if we talk about technology we can conclude that we live in a 'caveman era' (just a few facts: 85% of the produced global energy comes from fossil fuels, that is from dead plants, we still have no cure for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis,... instead of that we have alternative medicine and homeopathy, gadgets, smartphones, tablets, broadband Internet, GPS, Web 2.0, trash pop culture, MTV, Gangdam Style, Lady Gaga, consumerism, advertising, brands, unhealthy fast food, skyscrapers, multinational companies,...), generally speaking our post-industrial society in which we live is archaic, human relationships and values in the western society are such that somehow everything always comes down to the question who is more physically attractive, who has more successful career, etc. So in that book you can find a lot of info about different experimental technologies that are currently under research and their prospects, the most interesting chapter is about medicine, but other chapters are interesting too, maybe you will feel better if you read it.
Scars are like diseases destroy the lives of people

This was posted here before many years back. All of the drugs used to make the it are easy to find and buy on the net. I can't seem to understand the mixing ratio, and there is one other issue. The "88% phenol" at it's full 88% concentration can kill you in 90 seconds if you apply it to a 10inch x 10 inch area of skin. I'm hoping someone around here can read through this and explain the mixing ratios more clearly.
It has been found that when appropriate portions of Vitamin A" Vitamin D," olive oil, and a suitable aromatic hydroxyl derivative (PHENOL) are mixed together to form a homogeneous lotion, that the lotion compounded therefrom will provide the following synergistic effect. First, the skin laceration is disinfected, Second, regenerative healing of the endodermal layer is accelerated while the healing process of the epidermal layer is temporarily suspended. Third, the keratoid or comified tissue, but not the soft nonnal tissue, of the endodermal layer is dissolved or otherwise prevented from accumulating. The synergistic result of certain homogeneous mixtures of these four ingredients is to promote a rapid healing of a skin laceration, commencing at the cross-sectional periphery thereof, so as to provide scar-free characteristics in the ultimately healed skin laceration.
Here on page 22 and 23 you can see the result of phase 1 clinical trials of the drug RXI-109:This drug will probably be the next Juvista, I used to think this drug is something because it is based on RNAi (which is discovered by Dr. Graig Mello for what he was awarded with the Nobel Prize in 2006 and he is the founder of the company that is developing that drug) and because it is often mentioned (and overhyped) by Ray Kurzweil, so that's why I now understand that biotechnology/genomic medicine will stay primitive for a long time to come, it is simply the wrong approach, Seabs is right when he says that the mechanism of the scar formation is too complex for us to understand it in details, so regenerative medicine is the only approach that can result in scar free healing in the foreseeable future.
I suggest you begin again from the basics.In adults scars are results of lime/bad inorganic calcium that is being accumulated.
So the blood after the first days of scar forming cant break this hard calcium.Its all about this hard collagen that CAN BE manipulated back to liquid again.
For scar free healing in most cases use cayenne to close the cut and then put aloe vera and slippery elm paste and cover with bandaid.
For burns there are various soothing herbs .

Again, discovered in 1969! I would like to understand how to make this stuff. I do not understand the mix ratios or how one might consider altering them for human testing. It was used on larger heavier animals than man.I can get my hands on all the ingredients used to make this stuff.
This hydrogel is devoid of growth factor and cell, totally biomaterial. Do you guys think JHU can do this after Dr Sun left the team?Maybe that's why no progress made yet?
It doesn't need anything added. In the objective data, inside the scientific document, the material degraded rapidly and got complete regeneration.
