#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

#ForBetterScience raises an inconvenient question: when
cadavers' tracheas smeared with stem cells were used, did the technique really work or was it just as fraudulent as plastic #windpipes?
I ask: is end-stage esophageal #Cancer still being diagnosed in fraud to experiment on human lives with this failed approach?
