Turkish Scientists Develop Artificial Tissues to Combat Throat Cancer and Hearing Loss

Turkish scientists have developed artificial eardrum and laryngeal tissue that could be used for treating throat cancer and hearing difficulties. These tissues were created using three-dimensional bioprinting technology, marking a significant innovation in the treatment process. The joint efforts of Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, and Marmara University led to the establishment of the Health Biotechnology Excellence Joint Application and Research Center (SABIOTEK) two years ago.


Scientists at this center, within the scope of the TUBITAK 1001 Project, used a 3D bioprinter to develop personalized artificial eardrum patches and larynx patches. Director of SABIOTEK, Prof. Dr. Cem Bülent Üstündağ, highlighted that their developed eardrum patch was more advanced compared to existing technologies, containing growth factors, supported by different resins, and proteins.


These components are set to undergo initial trials on animals before applying for clinical research. Additionally, Prof. Dr. Üstündağ noted that the project’s outcome represents a significant development for throat cancer, with artificial tissue developed for the cancerous area removed during the disease.


These tissues were produced using 3D printers and have entered the testing phase with cells. Üstündağ believes this study will offer an innovative treatment method for tracheal cancer and damages.


Projects developed at SABIOTEK, utilizing local resources, appear to make significant progress in treating ear and throat cancer, potentially resolving issues for those affected by these conditions.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924. High school girls wearing gas masks marching in a parade in Japan in 1944.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
