Soft robot intubation device, designed specifically for non-expert users, could save lives

Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective at saving the patient's life. However, creating this airway through endotracheal intubation is a difficult task for highly trained individuals and under the best of circumstances.

Primo trapianto al mondo di trachea stampata in 3D con cellule staminali

Ricercatori coreani hanno creato in appena 2 settimane una trachea artificiale di 5 centimetri, trapiantandola con successo.

#PaoloMacchiarini is physician who performed a #Trachea transplant from dead donor in 2008 during his stay as a researcher at the Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques de #Barcelona.
He soon began using plastic to create artificial #Windpipes and smearing them with stem cells while waiting for #Prosthesis to get functionality and biocompatibility
In those years there was a lot of hype in media around #StemCells, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
Scientists Make Progress in Tailor-Made Organs

Tissue engineers have succeeded in making artificial organs that use a patient’s cells to become a living part of the body, with hope for eventual organ regeneration.

That's right, your trachea, commonly known as your windpipe. It passes air from your mouth down into your lungs.

It is surrounded by several u shaped pieces of cartilage that keep it open so air can flow through it.
