Release date: 2008-01-23 A groundbreaking innovation in stem cell extraction has emerged from Singapore, where researchers have developed a revolutionary device inspired by the humble orange juicer. Professor Huang Shuncai and Associate Professor Chen Guoqiang from the National University of Singapore drew inspiration from the familiar kitchen appliance to create a new method for extracting stem cells from the placenta. This innovative approach promises to yield significantly more stem cells compared to traditional methods used for umbilical cord blood collection. The device works by applying pressure to the placenta, mimicking the squeezing action of a juicer to extract as much cord blood as possible. According to Professor Huang, the idea was simple yet effective: "Why not try to squeeze as much as a juicer?" This concept led to the development of what could be called a "placenta juice machine," designed to maximize the amount of stem cells retrieved after childbirth. Stem cells extracted from the umbilical cord are vital for treating various blood disorders and are often used in bone marrow transplants. Traditionally, medical professionals use a syringe to collect cord blood, but the new device developed by the Singaporean team is said to extract up to ten times more cord blood—meaning ten times more stem cells. This advancement could greatly enhance the availability of stem cells for medical treatments. Interest in this invention has already been shown by three companies based in Singapore, Japan, and the UK, signaling potential for global impact. The research highlights the power of creative thinking and how everyday objects can inspire life-changing innovations in science and medicine.
