World’s first immortal lip cells created in a groundbreaking lab study | Researchers from the University of Bern achieve a significant first step in lip research by producing immortalized lip cells in the lab.
Lip problems, simply, have been impossible to treat. Dr. Martin Egen at Bern University Hospital "just changed that."
Dr. Martin Egen at Bern University Hospital “just changed that,” propelling this field of medicine forward using lip tissue that clinicians normally discard. As published in the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, scientists confirmed that they reached an important initial step “in developing clinically relevant lip models in the lab” which could help thousands of patients. Dr. Degen’s work primarily focuses on the “genetic and cellular pathways involved in cleft lip and palate,” as per a recent press release.
