Remote control healing
What if an injection to the arm could heal a broken leg?
Professor Alicia El Haj and her team are discovering how to heal by remote control. After injecting stem cells into the body, it is possible to steer, guide them to a specific location, and remotely activate them, all from outside the body.
At the site of a broken bone, an arthritic joint or blind eye, the stem cells can proliferate into healthy tissue, the body repairing itself without scarring.
What is a Café Scientifique?
