Tissue engineering has made possible this doubly innovative operation - the first trachea transplant and the first tissue transplant to be performed without the need for immunosuppression. Professor ...
MIT tissue engineers have successfully healed airway injuries in rabbits using a technique they believe could apply to the trachea and other parts of the human body.
... Casanova and Marta Llimargas, have studied the mechanisms that control cell movements during trachea development in the fly Drosophila. In this process, cells that initially form column of two cells ...
... known as the anterior dorsal branch stalk cells were actually stepping in to repopulate the side of the trachea lacking imaginal cells. As a result, the researchers concluded that a single tissue was ...
... them from infection," Hansdottir said. "We were able to see this happen in cells lining the trachea and main bronchi."
The team also found that when lung airway cells are infected by a virus, they ...
... hemorrhage and underwent endotracheal intubation (the placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea for the purpose of ventilating the lungs). The patients indicated they were unlikely to ...

The donor trachea was then seeded with chondrocytes on the outside, using a novel bioreactor which incubates cells ...
When you breathe in air, the air travels from your nose, down your trachea (windpipe), and into your lungs.

... in secretion due to the inflammation. Mucus clearance, as measured by ciliary beat frequency in the trachea, also decreased by 36 percent during in vitro testing.

... receive either dexmedetomidine or midazolam until extubation (removal of the breathing tube inserted into the trachea) or 30 days. The trial was conducted in 68 centers in five countries between March ...
... cells even though they are differentiated.
When the scientists tagged secretory cells in the trachea and followed them for a year, they found that the labeled cells gradually were lost. They could ...
