Stem cells are cell factories that constantly divide
themselves to create new cells. Implanting stem cells in damaged
organs can regenerate new tissues. Cell sheet engineering, which
allows stem cells to be transplanted into damaged areas in the form
of sheets made up of only cells, completely eliminates immune
rejection caused by external substances and encourages tissue
regeneration. A research team led by POSTECH recently succeeded in
drastically reducing the harvest period of such stem cell
sheets.
