Scientists tissue-engineer functional part of human stomach in laboratory
This confocal microscopic picture reveals tissue-engineered human abdomen tissues from the corpus/fundus area, which produce acid and digestive enzymes. Scientists at Cincinnati Kids’s Hospital Medical Heart, who generated the tissues from human pluripotent stem cells, report their findings Jan. four in Nature. Credit score: Picture courtesy of Cincinnati Kids's Hospital Medical Heart Scientists report in Nature utilizing pluripotent stem cells to generate human abdomen tissues in a petri dish that produce acid and digestive enzymes. Publishing their findings on-line Jan. four, researchers at Cincinnati Kids's Hospital Medical Heart grew tissues from the abdomen's corpus/fundus area. The examine comes two years after the identical group generated the abdomen's hormone-producing area (the antrum). The invention means investigators now can develop each components of the human abdome...
