Watch beating grown heart muscle only under a microscope - the fabric is too low, but even then, there is at the moment, is a breakthrough in genetics.
On the creation of human organs at Kyoto University has about five years. Agladze received an invitation from Japanese experts in a year after the creation of this trend. The main challenges facing researchers was to understand how from induced stem cells obtained certain organs. And scientists have been able to answer this question - they found the chemical responsible for the mechanism's transformation.
According to BBC News, out of every hundred eighty-induced protocells become heart cells. They gather in the microdroplets, which are attracted to each other to form a continuous fabric.
In the laboratory at Kyoto University and other organs grow. So, Professor Kenji Osafune showed reporters renal tissue.
Grown tissue of human organs will be in demand in the pharmaceutical industry - in this material is convenient testing of new drugs. For instance, if you need to test drugs for arrhythmia, the heart muscle can be to create the conditions under which she would have to fight in a quickened pace.
No less important is the discovery of Japanese scientists and transplantology - the use of grown tissue will help save the lives of millions of people. However, talking about this is premature, as is done today is not enough. Researchers believe that this topic should be revisited after three or four years. (READ MORE)
