  • The researchers injected stem cells from rats into the embryos of mice that had been genetically altered so they could not produce their own organs, creating mice that had rat organs.

      If they are able to do this with animals what about humans? Is this ethical and effective.
  • The scientists claim the rat stem cells grew in the niche left by the absent mouse pancreas and so almost any organ could be produced in this way.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • If replicated using human stem cells, the technique could produce a way of treating diabetic patients by providing a way of replacing their pancreas
  • In reality researchers are not allowed to create human embryos that lack the ability to grow organs and so they hope to do the same using pigs.
  • They have, however, already managed to produce pigs that were able to generate human blood by injecting blood stem cells from humans into pig foetuses. He said: "For ethical reasons we cannot make an organ deficient human embryo and use it for blastocyst complementation. "So to make use of this system to generate human organs, we must use this technique using blastocysts of livestock animals such as pigs instead
  • Blastocyst complementation across species had never been tested before, but we have now shown that it can work."

    This is discussing about using other animals to grow organs inside of those other animals.

  • Growing a complete, functioning brain is unfeasible, but there is real potential in growing functional neural tissue containing specific types of cells, for transplantation into the human brain.

      It may not be possible to regrow a complete brain but we may not have to. If medical science was able they could potentially regrow certain cells and parts of the brain that have degenerated that could prove to cure certain diseases like Alzheimers.

    A study is being done in Japan that has regrown a pituitary gland that is fully funtional when it was transplanted into mice. How soon will it be before it is done on humans? Or is it already being done?

    It explains the difference from cheetahs and greyhounds running styles. And apply it to humans to see what can help us run faster.

    Mr. Spriggs is the last of my human resources. His title is "Senior Fellow for Policy Studies" on the FRC, or Family Research Council. In contrast to Mr. Sears and Mr. Buseck, his research and advocacy is against gay rights.

    This website, from Sabanci University, Istanbul, Turkey, provides an overview of the long and diverse history of a particular aspect of human endeavour: The translation of ideas, stories and concepts that are largely textual and/or word based into a visual format, i.e. visual communication. Fascinating history on visuals' roles in language arts.
