Sensation: a new era of medicine - any body can grow!


Parts of the body, grown in the laboratory, will be available in the near future for general use, because scientists have found more than 20 ways of growing, writes The Daily Mail.

They have managed to raise the bladder, urethra and windpipe, which transplant patients in clinical trials.
Now the experts are going to grow organs like the heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas and thymus.
Create a full body more difficult than growing in laboratory tissue.

The plans were announced during a conference on technologies for rejuvenation and held at Cambridge University, reports The Sunday Times.
Among the participants was Professor Paolo Machchiarini of the Karolinska Institute. He told how he had implanted lab-grown trachea Icelander who had the cancer.

The basis of the technology lay artificial scaffold, repeating shape trachea. He hoisted on stem cells of the patient.
But John Jackson of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, University of Wake Forest made replacement thymus. This gland plays an important role in terms of the normal functioning of the immune system, but with age, no longer function properly.
All this marks the beginning of a new era in medicine. This breakthrough was made possible by the discovery, made about ten years ago. It turned out that the protein skeleton, which cause organ structure can be separated from their cells and to fill other, taken from the patient. So we have the new organ.
Using the technology, Professor Sheyu Sokeru already managed to create a miniature human livers (he sowed "framework", derived from the body of rats, human cells), and Professor Doris Taylor - a beating human heart.
