DISCOVERY OF NEW CELLS FOUND IN WORLD-FIRST (AUSTRALIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL RESEARCH TEAM)

Australian researchers have discovered new cells in the world first , saying that they could enhance future human tissue repair and generation. As per study made and published recently, a team from the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute discovered the cells that can transform into two previously known types of the cells:endothelial cells that form blood vessels and macrophages, which are responsible for the tissue repairs and defense. Named EndoMac progenitors, the new cells were discovered in the outer layer of aortas in adult mice. The study team stated that the existence of cells with similar functions has been theorized for over a century but they had never been found earlier. The said discovery was the result of nine years of the work done by said team of the researchers. It is found that the cells are activated by injury or poor blood flow, at which point they rapidly expand to aid healing. Ongoing research found and suggests that the EndoMac progenitors could be used to boost healing in conditions like diabetes where the body struggles to properly repair itself. When we transplanted these progenitors into diabetic wounds, results showing a dramatic improvement in healing within days. Sanuri  Liyange, a member of the research team said, In theory this could become a game changer for patients suffering from chronic wounds. The researcher further said that the discovery was a promising development for creating more effective treatments that support the body's ability to heal and maintain this function over time.
