Ohio State University Develops Regenerative Medicine Breakthrough called Tissue Nanotransfection Using Nanotechnology Chip

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch.

The technology, known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), injects genetic code into skin cells, turning those skin cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions. In laboratory tests, this process was able to heal the badly injured legs of mice in just three weeks with a single touch of this chip. The technology works by converting normal skin cells into vascular cells, which helped heal the wounds.
