Implanting Lab-Grown Organs
ОглавлениеResearchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School have teamed up to create stem cells that can be used to form heart tissue. The tissue even beats when given an electric shock. And at the University of Glasgow and the University of the West of Scotland, scientists have used bone marrow cells to create a putty that can be used for bone grafts.14
We could even 3D print organs. For example, bioprinting company Organovo has been able to 3D print human liver tissue patches, which have been successfully implanted into mice15 (more on that in Trend 24).
