Where is the ceiling of modern medicine? Can't return to the old? The newest and most important of all, the newest and most important of all is the newest and most important of all. In fact, in recent years, the biotechnology hot topic "regenerative medicine" can be the answer to the above questions. The stem cells have been the subject of a great deal of research, which has led to the development of many treatment modalities, and has allowed many young scholars who have mastered the stem cell technology to take advantage of the situation, and Dr. Chang, a PhD in biochemistry at Yang Ming University, is one of the most prominent ones.
When we entered Dr. Chang's office near the Shanshouji station, we were greeted by a woman with long hair and long legs, who led the interview team into the conference room and made small talk. "The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
Research and development of treatments for loved ones She found the potential for treatment in the field of "stem cells"Another reason for her involvement in the stem cell industry is for her family. Her father passed away when she was 13 years old due to lymphoma. "My father was also one of the first patients to receive radiation treatment, and I witnessed first-hand how the side effects of cancer treatments made a police officer as strong as a man end up as thin as a bone.
Therefore, Zhang Yiwen slowly focused her research on cancer treatment step by step, and finally locked the stem cell therapy.
"Stem cell therapy can make up for the lack of immunotherapy! According to Amy Zhang, immunotherapy may cause a great deal of rejection of the body after the start of treatment, and cancer patients are generally not in good physical condition after receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy. At this point, a strong logistical force, namely stem cells, is needed to support the body's health. For example, if a cancer patient's liver is damaged, stem cells with regenerative ability can do the repair work, allowing the body to survive the treatment process.
Nowadays, clinical medicine has yet to penetrate the part of immunotherapy, let alone this dual-track therapy of "immunity" plus "cells".
The first step in the process is to make sure that the stem cells can be used in the treatment of the disease, and that they can be used in the treatment of the disease.
No more cardiac catheterization Japanese team cures heart failure with stem cell patchesIn addition to cancer treatment, stem cell therapy is also gaining ground in the field of regenerative medicine, and Amy Chang shared that Japan is a major powerhouse in stem cell technology, with Kyoto and Osaka Universities being the top two in this field. "For example, a team from Osaka University has launched a "heart patch" using stem cell technology," she said.
Amy Zhang clearly explained that the Osaka team cultured mesenchymal stromal cells that can differentiate into myocardium, and then cultured these cells on a patch and attached it to the heart to regenerate the myocardium without the need for surgery, such as a cardiac catheterization. The idea of a "patch" treatment like this one is already under development.
The power of stem cells ? Not to be underestimatedIn addition to various rigorous therapeutic goals, stem cells also have softer applications, such as injecting stem cells into the body, which has the opportunity to "refurbish" the body's "old" organ cells. Nowadays, many people like to save umbilical cord blood stem cells for their children, not only for the sake of their children's future health, but also for a wider range of uses in the future.
For example, in Ukraine, after the Chernobyl incident, we put all our efforts into stem cell research and development, and in the end, we were able to make the mistake of using high-cost stem cells to make a trip back to China, and we were able to make a big impact on the application of stem cells.
Surrounded by many powers How can Taiwan's stem cell technology kill itself?Now that the world's related industries are focusing their R&D efforts on regenerative medicine, how can Taiwan's stem cell industry survive in the face of such a heavy siege? The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list. However, Taiwan's medical strength is recognized all over the world," she said. "If you want to develop a stem cell industry with Taiwan's characteristics, she suggests that the technology as well as the industry must think about how to give play to their own strengths.
Taiwan's strengths include advanced surgical capabilities, a favorable medical environment, and favorable pricing. Amy Chang pointed out that after administering stem cells, unpredictable medical problems may arise, and this is where Taiwan's solid training in medical care comes in handy, allowing doctors to respond faster and solve problems. "This is why 'medical tourism' can be a good option," suggests Ms. Chang.
*** Active action is a strong backing for precision medicine in Taiwan!Of course, just being ahead of the curve in technology isn't enough for Taiwan to gain a foothold in the international arena, says Ms. Chang. Fortunately, in recent years, Taiwan has passed the "Special Administration Law" and the "Regenerative Agents Ordinance", and there is an abundance of research and development energy, and manufacturers are ready to enter the market.
Moreover, Taiwan has a lot of good cards in its hand when it comes to developing stem cell technology. For example, Dr. Hwang Hsiao-Min, an authority on stem cell research and preservation, and a microbiology and molecular genetics expert at Rutgers University, was the first to publish a patent on amniotic fluid stem cells in the world, and he has an advantage in the industrial sector.
Taiwan's stem cell research and development and marketable energy should not continue to wait and see, Zhang Yiwen predicted that as soon as 5 years, or as slow as 10 years, in the future, we will go to the hospital, clinic, and no longer take the pain and other symptoms of the drug, but to buy the "skin cells", "liver cells". The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list.
