Novosibirsk scientists have developed a drug that makes the human brain to produce stem cells necessary for recovery of diseased organs. “The drug relates to regenerative and has no analogues in the world. We are starting this year clinical trials, preclinical trials we have completed, “- said the chairman of the board and co-owner of the company, who developed the drug, Andrei Artamonov. According to him, the drug makes the adult brain produce new stem cells that later find a damaged organ and restore it. “In children, the brain actively produces stem cells because the baby is growing. And the brain of an adult capable of producing them, only he does not want to do this – to him it not necessary. Our drug stimulates the production of our own stem cells, “explained Artamonov. According to him, all operations with stem cells are now produced outside the human body that carries a certain risk associated with the fact that a modified, artificially propagated cell can start interact in an unexpected place. Cells can be entered but it always a risk because it’s not very clear where they are differentiate. Although they are yours, they are propagated outside your organism. Own stem cells can’t fail there differentiate. They find a damaged organ and start this restore the body, “added Artamonov. Clinical trials the drug will last a year and a half, Interfax reports.
