THYROID transplant

[Ossuryak]

Does anyone have information about THYROID TRANSPLANTS by Russian science professor Vladimir Mironov using a 3D printed thyroid gland or information on anyone else doing research with regrowth of thyroid by other method ?

Sounds great but would you need to be on steroids and drugs to stop rejection for life.

[Ossuryak in reply to McPammy]

They use your own cells so no rejection

[McPammy in reply to Ossuryak]

Oh wow. Now wouldn’t that be good for us sufferers.

[helvella Administrator in reply to McPammy]

Sounds wonderful, and in somes cases (assuming it works as well as could eb hoped), it would be fantastic. However, I suspect not always:

If someone has autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's), what would prevent the replacement also being destroyed?

[McPammy in reply to helvella]

Good point. I guess it needs a lot of research.

It does work, you have to click once to go a page that asks if you want to continue and then you click again.
