Fecal transplants continue to make headlines in recent years, showing promise in everything from COVID-19 treatments to anti-aging experiments in animals, but we're still only scratching the surface, scientists say.
Not only that, but by developing a system to deliver autologous fecal transplants – in which the donor and the recipient are the same person – we could get around problems that can sometimes present due to incompatibility issues between donors and recipients in heterologous transplants involving two people.
Since then, a number of similar facilities have opened around the world, although most appear to typically be storing stool samples for later heterologous FMTs, rather than for autologous transplants; however, the two systems aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. There are many issues to face, including how to adequately store stool samples safely in long-term cryopreservation.
