A Group Of Scientists Developed See-through Human Organs
TRANSPARENT HUMAN ORGANS – A group of scientists worked and successfully developed ‘see-through’ human organs.
The recent innovation by scientists from Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany could be a gateway to 3D organ transplanting.
The scientists created a new technique using a certain solvent to create transparent versions of the human organs such as the kidneys and the human brain.
This is based on an article from The Good Life. According to the article,
Lasers can be utilized to scan the complex details of an organ in a microscope to apprehend it’s overall structure, including the blood vessels and even the locations of the cells.
Working from this, the scientists made a ‘scaffold’ for the organ and loaded a 3D printer with stem cells as ink.
The stem cells are then injected into the specific locations in the organ to make it operational.
Ali Ertuerk, leading the project, stated that 3D printing is readily available for producing spare parts. However, with his team’s groundbreaking innovation, they have initiated a huge step advancement in the field of medicine.
Ertuerk explained how their innovation brought us closer to 3D printed functioning human organs in his statement:
“We can see where every single cell is located in transparent human organs. And then we can actually replicate exactly the same, using 3D bioprinting technology to make a real functional organ. Therefore, I believe we are much closer to a real human organ for the first time now.”
That is all there is to it, at least for now. We’ll post updates as soon as we got them.
