BioLIFT

The Biofabrication of Vaginal Support Using Vaginally Derived Cells (BioLIFT) feasibility study is looking at whether it is possible to grow ligaments in a laboratory from cells taken from a woman’s vagina during surgery. If this is possible, then the researchers will study whether the ligaments could be used in a vaginal or uterine prolapse repair surgery for that same woman to improve how long the surgical repair lasts.
