The Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology for Graduate Studies at the University of Baghdad has organized an electronic workshop via FCC platform on (Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Their Clinical Applications) with a wide participation of more than 460 experts in this discipline, chaired by Assist. Prof. Dr. Mohammed Abdul Malik Ali.
The lecturers dealt with this vital topic of stem cells that are easy to extract from adipose tissues and their therapeutic applications for incurable diseases and provided a detailed explanation of the methods of isolating them from the human body, also means of direct application of their therapeutic uses and implant after extraction. At last, they discussed matters related to the latest 3D printing techniques (3D tissue molds) used in the treatment of complex injuries, which need to reconstruct the bones and cartilage that are completely lost, as well as advanced genetic engineering applications in the conversion of stem cells to insulin-producing pancreatic cells newly applied in the treatment of diabetes.
