Researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute say they have made progress on a "biospleen," which could combat against sepsis
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - An extracorporeal blood cleansing device works well in rats and in experiments with human blood, according to researchers in the US and in France.
"Based on our exciting results in rats, we are actively moving to test this approach in a large animal as the next step towards moving this to human clinical trials," Donald E. Ingber of Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Wyss Institute in Boston told Reuters Health by email.
In a September 14th online paper in Nature Medicine, Dr. Ingber and colleagues explain that infected blood flowing into this "biospleen" is mixed with magnetic nanobeads.
