So this week I found an interesting video engineering tissue:
I thought it was very interesting how the engineers used a different skin cell instead of stem cell and were able to avoid the controversy of stem cells. I also liked how the organs grown for the patient are from the patients cells so there is little chance of the body not accepting the organ.
P.S. It also would reduce if not eliminate animal testing which I think is good.
The video makes tissue engineering sound very safe and effective. I think it would be a good Idea to look into tissue engineering further and maybe incorporate it into medical practices.
What do you think?
This is very interesting! As you mentioned I really like the fact that they have found a way to create stem cells without the controversy. The can make any type of tissue this way even those with diseases. I think that this new tissue engineering is something amazing! I hope their plan works out and this helps the medical field, with discovering more cures for diseases.
