Humacite

I am adding the above word ( the name of a cooperation) to my spelling dictionary. It is very likely to be seen a lot. I just happened to see a segment on FOX News Sunday that spoke briefly on it. I thought I might have misunderstood it. They are still doing studies on it in the US. In Ukraine, the doctors are already using it to replace arteries damaged by war. And guess what. It’s working and working well.

This is a big step in medicine. When these things are approved, vessels will no longer need to be harvested in other parts of the body for heart bypasses. If it all works out, that is good and it is good. Not only can they leave the vessels in the leg but the arteries they put in will be effectively new. They will likely hold up better and the blood will flow through them better.

In addition, it will allow the replacement of bad arteries in the legs. I don’t know. Maybe the veins too. Just a guess, but they just might be able to replace bad vessels in the neck going to and from the brain. That might help the thinking process.

They have been working on these things for a while now. Where have I been that I never heard about it before.

There is another aspect of it, though I suspect it is a long way away. Just maybe they can make parts of organs using the same methods. Those to first benefit would likely be diabetics, especially type I. If I’m not missing my guess though, they might already be experimenting on it.
