Foetal Sac Surgery Before the Baby is Even Born

The video discusses fetal surgery, focusing on the challenges of repairing the fetal membrane after surgery. Dr. Chena Chowdhury explains the prevalence of preterm birth and its societal impact. The fetal membrane's structure and the role of different cell types in its repair are explored. Nanotechnology is used to create a scaffold that aids in healing. Future clinical applications and the potential to reduce preterm births are highlighted.

What is the importance of nanotechnology in the context of fetal surgery?

How do the good, bad, and ugly cells interact during the healing process?

What are the expected outcomes for babies born after 30 weeks of gestation?

In what ways can the findings from this research potentially reduce the number of preterm births?
