Robert Lanza has mastered the fundamentals of stem cell research, as well as its use as a potential derivative for organ and tissue cells. His research on the matter has paved the way for numerous medical breakthroughs, giving scientists from all over the world a deeper understanding of this remarkable type of cell, which has the potential to grow and develop into nearly any other type of cell found within the human body. He specializes in stem cell research that is dedicated to developing these cells into other organ tissues.
Stem cell research often goes hand-in-hand with regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, because of the stem cells’ ability to produce tissues. In his book, “Principles of Tissue Engineering,” (recognized as the definitive reference in the field)
Robert Lanza explains how tissue engineering can aid in the creation of new soft-tissue replacements in breast reconstructive surgery after mastectomy or lumpectomy. Preadipocytes, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, muscle myocytes, and chondrocytes are just some of the cell types that can be used for the procedure. Cell-polymer constructs are then introduced into the body via surgical implants or through injections. Once the cell-polymer constructs are inside the body, the process of tissue regeneration begins, and the breast tissues are replicated. This procedure can be very expensive, but it is worth every penny because results are guaranteed to look and feel natural.
