[뉴스 잉글리쉬] 획기적인 신기술, 나노칩, 터치 한번으로 어떠한 신체기관도 만들어 낼 수 있다?

뉴스 잉글리쉬

손상된 조직이나 신체기관을 치료하는 방법으로 환자의 피부조직을 이용해 줄기세포를 생산하는 나노장치가 개발되었다고 합니다.

정말 놀라운 기술이 아닐 수 없는데요. 나노칩이 장착된 회로를 피부에 올려놓기만 해도 세포를 재생하고 장기를 치료하는 것이 가능하다는데...

믿기 어려운 이야기입니다만... 공상과학의 소설같은 이야기가 현실이 되는 시대가 곧 올 것 같습니다.;;;

불치병과 난치병으로 고통받는 사람들에게는 아주 큰 희소식이 되겠네요.

Nano-chips may heal organs with one touch

10th August, 2017

 

The medical world sees another example of science fiction coming true. Scientists have revealed a "breakthrough technology" that repaired cells and organs in mice and pigs with a 90 per cent success rate. Researchers at Ohio State University in the USA have developed a device barely a centimeter wide that is full of tiny microchips called nanochips. The new device is a pad that is placed on the skin. It initiates the process of repairing damaged organs and healing serious wounds. The nanochips "reprogramme" damaged cells to restore them to their functional state. Researcher Dr Chandan Sen said: "With this technology, we can convert skin cells into elements of any organ with just one touch."

 

The new technology is called tissue nano-transfection (TNT). It is a non-invasive procedure, which means surgeons do not have to cut the body. It works by placing the pad of nanochips over a damaged area of the body. A small electric current then injects DNA into the skin's cells in less than a second. This transforms the cells into building blocks that then regenerate any nearby damaged tissue, such as skin, arteries, or even organs like the liver, lungs and heart. Researchers say it could replace the need for patients needing reconstructive surgery and revitalize organs that are prematurely aging. It could even help repair the brain. Testing will begin on humans next year.
