Amazing work by @gthall.bsky.social

In this new study, researchers @paolodecoppi.bsky.social used #stemcells to create bioengineered #oesophagi that they implanted into pigs, restoring their ability to swallow & eat. Their work opens the door for similar structures to treat people with #cancer. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Lab-grown mini-stomachs could boost understanding of rare diseases. Our researchers have developed the first-ever lab-grown mini-stomach that contains the key components of the full-sized human organ. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/ja... @paolodecoppi.bsky.social @greatormondst.bsky.social

We have shown that lab-grown oesophagus successfully replaces a full segment and restores swallowing without immunosuppression. nature.com/articles/s4158… A major step forward for children with long-gap oesophageal atresia. @GOSHCharity @UCLPopHealthSci @ucl @NEWSFORTOFS

Very proud to be involved in @lancetchildadol.bsky.social Preterm & sick #neonates need better care to improve survival & long-term health. More investment & commitment in #neonatology can help developing more research and development to advance high-quality care for all #newborns. ➡️ bit.ly/4eaKFHD
