New bacteria-derived hydrogel effective in muscle tissue regeneration | A groundbreaking study in regenerative medicine: researchers manufactured a hydrogel out of bacteria that stimulates muscle repair.
Pantoan Methacrylate (PAMA), a novel hydrogel or “bactogel” showed promising results in treating muscle injuries in rats.
“With nearly 100% mechanical recovery, good biocompatibility, and healing capacity, the PAMA bactogel presents a new path in the field of regenerative medicine,” the researchers said according to a press release. Associate Professor Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz from DTU Health Tech said, “This combination of feats is rarely encountered in the field as the hydrogels that exist simply don’t function as well as they’re supposed to because muscle-building is mechanically demanding.” The research team from the Technical University of Denmark, led by Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz, capitalized on the body’s regenerative capacity using the native bioproduction facilities which are found in bacteria.
