Hats off to the scientists!
British doctors will undertake a path-breaking procedure to reconstruct people's faces with stem cells taken from their fat. The team has successfully grown cartilage in the laboratory and believe it could be used to re-build ears arid noses.
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and the UCL Institute of Child Health (ICH) say the effectiveness of human stem cell therapies for facial reconstruction has been effectively investigated and shows how stem cells could provide a viable alternative to current approaches to facial cartilage reconstruction such as ear and nose reconstruction. GOSH is world renowned for treating patients malformed or missing ear, a condition known Microcia.
