Possible Revolution in Orthopedic Science
Chief Medical Officer of StemLife, Professor Dr. Aw Tar Choon, demonstrated how stem cell technology can be applied as a treatment for muscles and bones. His findings, with the addition of other data obtained from the stem cell expansion project, prove that there is a big potential for the overall success of these research projects.
"Nanotechnology in Healthcare", was a presentation given by Professor Seeram Ramakrishna, Dean of Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). It explained the use of stem cells and two naturally occurring bone substances, collagen and hydroxyapatite that were successfully used in producing a new substance. This substance can mimic the action and function of natural bone substances, providing support and strength to the damaged bone when used to replace the inner core. Seeram said that this development "holds great potential for the construction of a new biomaterial that provides for the mineralization of osteoblasts (bone-forming stem cells) and hence the ability to regenerate new bone tissue."
