Esitatimendeni sakamuva esikhishwe yi I-Institute of Biomedical Research yeSibhedlela iLa Paz Kumenyezelwa ukuthi isikhungo sikwazile ukuthuthukisa, ngokusebenzisa izindlela eziyinkimbinkimbi zokwenziwa kwamaseli, indlela entsha ezothi, ngokusebenzisa izinto zebhayoloji namaseli ama-stem avela esigulini, kuzokwenzeka khipha amakhorali afana ngokuphelele nalawo womnikeli ngokunyathelisa kwe-3D.
Njengoba kuphawuliwe kusuka esikhungweni sokucwaninga uqobo, inhloso yale phrojekthi ukukhiqiza ama-corneas okuqala okusetshenziswa emtholampilo eminyakeni engu-5 nokukhiqiza eyenzelwe ngokuphelele futhi eyenzelwe ngokuphelele isiguli ngasinye lingakapheli isonto.
Abaphenyi e-Hospital La Paz Biomedical Research Institute bakwazi ukwenza inqubo entsha yokwenza amakholomu aphrintiwe nge-3D
Ngenxa yombono wenoveli, iphrojekthi ikhethwe yi Isisekelo Sokuqamba Okusha kanye Nokulindelekile Kwezempilo eSpain (Fipse) ngaphakathi kohlaka lohlelo lwamazwe omhlaba lwe-Idea2 Global olwenziwe yiMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Njengoba kuchaziwe nguyena Isisekelo Sokuqamba Okusha kanye Nokulindelekile Kwezempilo eSpain Ekushicilelweni kwayo ngabezindaba, le phrojekthi ibheka izindlela ezahlukahlukene zokwenza i-collagen polymeric extracellular matrix ekwazi ukulingisa ama-corneas womuntu kanye ne-biomimetic human corneal stroma okufanele ikwazi ukubuyisela isidingo sabanikeli babantu.
Amaseli we-mesenchymal stem cell wesiguli azophrintwa nge-3D kumatrix asetshenzisiwe, ngaleyo ndlela akhiqize ama-corneas e-organic enzelwe ukuphendula abantu abadinga ukufakelwa i-corneal futhi babuyisele umbono wabo. Akungabazeki ukuthi lokhu kutholakala nempumelelo yezobuchwepheshe kungaba yisinyathelo esihle sokuhlinzeka inhlalakahle enkulu kubantu abaningi, hhayi ize namuhla emhlabeni kunabantu abangaboni abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-10 emhlabeni ngenxa yesifo esikhunjeni.
