| A recent study by Washington State University researchers showed that the most advanced medical technology may still require the help of some traditional therapies. The WSU team developed a 3D printed ceramic stent for bone tissue regeneration and found that when the stent is coated with The natural regeneration of turmeric powder can increase bone regeneration by 30% to 45%. The project was funded by the National Institutes of Health and led by Professors Susmita Bose, Herman and Brita Lindholm.  Turmeric, as an indispensable flavor for a variety of different curries and other dishes, has long been highly respected. The spices extracted from the roots consist mainly of curcumin, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and bone-enhancing abilities. Helps prevent various kinds of cancer. Turmeric has been used as a medicine for centuries, especially in Asian countries, but it is usually taken orally. This is not the most effective way to absorb curcumin. The project can directly play turmeric The advantages of prime to get more effective results.  3D-printed bone scaffolds are made of biocompatible ceramic materials and are similar to those currently used for tissue regeneration studies. These scaffolds are implanted into cells, and the cells fuse together to form new tissue, depending on the environment in which they are located. Many of the problems with bone regenerative drugs currently used to treat osteoporosis and other diseases are the imbalanced remodeling cycles that they may produce in natural bone, and the poor quality of bone that can be formed.  The team decided to try to stimulate the growth of bones using compounds naturally produced in turmeric. They wrapped curcumin in a hydrophilic polymer, which is a large molecule, so over time, curcumin can Gradually released from the ceramic stent. The use of this organic compound coating 3D printing stent is very successful. Studies have shown that it can increase the survival and proliferation of new bone cells and blood vessels in the surrounding tissue, and accelerate the healing process. Researchers are also studying other natural therapies, including compounds from aloe vera, saffron, vitamin D, garlic, oregano and ginger. Bose focuses on compounds that may contribute to bone diseases, including those that promote bone growth or have anti-inflammatory, infections. Compounds that control or have anti-cancer properties.
