'Human textile' to replace conventional sutures

New Delhi, Feb 07 (ANI): A group of researchers has come up with a unique form of yarn made up of human skin cells that could soon replace conventional sutures in surgical procedures. According to CNN Health, surgeons can use this 'human textile' for knitting, sewing and crocheting damaged organs. The scientists from the University of Bordeaux, France, suggest that their invention could "truly integrate into the host's body." Normal sutures pose a risk of eliciting a detrimental immune response from the patients' bodies. "Most permanent synthetic biomaterials are recognised as foreign by the innate immune system, which leads to the well-described 'foreign body reaction' upon implantation." Stating its efficacy, the scientists wrote: "This material can be used as a simple suture to close a wound or can be assembled into fully biological, human."
