A NEW IIT-D engineers way to harvest organs
Neha Pushkarna, TNN
6 January 2010, 01:52am IST
NEW DELHI: For patients with severely dysfunctional organs, transplant becomes
the last option but finding a compatible donor to replace the organ is an
uphill task. However, such patients won't have to lose sleep looking for donors
and compatibility, if biodegradable scaffolds, developed by Indian Institute of
Technology Delhi (IITD), turn into a reality.
In collaboration with AIIMS and PGI Chandigarh, the institute has created
scaffolds on which stem cells can be grown into tissues, which then develop
into a full organ. The organ thus developed can be used for transplantation. At
present, these scaffolds — made of biodegradable polymers — are being used for
animal testing in Paris.
Explaining that this marvel of tissue engineering has an edge over the
traditional donor system of organ transplantation, professor Bhuvanesh Gupta
from the bioengineering group, textile department, IITD, said: "Since a new
organ can be developed on the scaffolds using patient's own cells, there will
be no need of finding a donor. There will be no chances of rejection either
like in a normal organ transplant."
