The press service of Russia’s Sechenov University announced that scientists from the university have discovered a way to reduce inflammation caused by wounds and accelerate the repair of vital tissues.
A report from the university's press service stated: "Sechenov University researchers have demonstrated that biologically active substances secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human adipose tissue are capable of transforming immune cells from an inflammatory response to a restorative response."
The researchers explained that this technology paves the way for the development of a new generation of anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerating therapies in the body, with wide-ranging applications from treating injuries to manufacturing biosimilars for tissues.
In the next phase, the research team intends to study the effect of these biological factors in more complex experimental models, and assess the possibility of converting them into biomedical products.
The researchers pointed out that this technology could greatly contribute to improving the success of biomaterial implantation and enhancing the effectiveness of tissue repair in the fields of surgery, dentistry, and regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine is an advanced medical field that aims to restore the functions of damaged or diseased tissues and organs by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, replacing damaged cells, or engineering new tissues.
