Dear ,
We are thrilled to announce the completion of the histological analysis of decellularized tissue implanted in sheep by Dr. Angela Palumbo, and the results have exceeded our expectations. This is a significant step towards achieving our mission of creating functional human foreskin tissue.
"Things are super positive," she wrote excitedly to Enzo. "There are many blood vessels well-shaped, and the scaffold is re-epithelialized. It's a fantastic thing."
In simple terms, Dr. Palumbo's findings indicate that the implanted tissue has undergone successful re-epithelialization, and healthy blood vessels have formed in the scaffold. This is a crucial step in regenerating fully functional human foreskin tissue as it indicates that host cells have colonized the tissue. Before attempting to integrate foreskin tissue in human hosts, it is vital to prove that the colonization of a scaffold by host cells is possible. These findings are essential in helping us prepare for human trials.
Founder Enzo Aiello has delivered a personal address for this important update.
We want to express our gratitude to you, our dedicated donors, for making this exciting, innovative, and impactful research possible.
Sincerely,
Ryan Jones
Chief Operations Officer
