… 1 June 2018 Search results Vijf jaar doe je onderzoek. Je publiceert erover in Nature. En opeens ben je wereldnieuws. MERLN directeur prof. dr. Clemens van Blitterswijk vertelt wat er dan gebeurt. Een doorbraak, zo noemt Nature het onderzoek. Als eerste in de wereld heeft de onderzoeksgroep van MERLN een kunstmatig embryo gemaakt dat een zwangerschap opwekt zonder dat er gebruik gemaakt is van een eicel en een zaadcel. In plaats daarvan gebruikten de wetenschappers stamcellen. Deze techniek kan worden gebruikt voor het verbeteren van IVF-behandelingen en bijvoorbeeld onderzoek naar erfelijke ziektes. Ook maakt hij dierproeven overbodig bij het ontwikkelen van medicijnen. Vijf jaar lang onderzochten wetenschappers van het MERLN Instituut in Maastricht en het Hubrecht Instituut in Utrecht de ontwikkeling van de zogenaamde modelembryo’s. ‘Sinds 2015 waren we hierover voortdurend in overleg met de redactiecommissie van Nature’, vertelt Van Blitterswijk. ‘Zij …
… reliable and relevant in vitro models. They can then use these bioprinted models to study innovative treatment options. European cooperation The research project is a collaboration between the Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine (MERLN) at Maastricht University, the University of Nantes in France and two industry partners: the German biotechnology company TissUse and the Swedish company Fluicell. ‘Creating bioprinted kidney in vitro models has seen tremendous progress over the past five years,’ says Carlos Mota of MERLN. ‘Although these models gradually demonstrate bioprinting’s potential, further combination of techniques is necessary to create reliable and relevant in vitro platforms to study renal disease. In order to achieve this project’s goals, we gathered … technologies programme (H2020-FETOPEN-2020).

… 1 June 2018 Search results After five years of doing research Nature wants to publish the results. All of sudden you make headlines all over the world. MERLN director professor Clemens van Blitterswijk tells what happened next. A breakthrough - this is how Nature describes the research. The first in the world to do so, the MERLN research group created a synthetic embryo that can lead to pregnancy without the use of an egg and sperm cell. Instead of these cells, the scientists used stem cells. This technique may be used to improve IVF treatment and research on hereditary diseases. It also makes animal testing obsolete in the development of medicines. For five years, the scientists at the MERLN Institute in Maastricht and the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht studied the development of these so-called model embryos. “We had been in constant contact with the editorial board at Nature since 2015, updating them on the developments,” Van …
