American scientists have grown human lung

Living real lungs! Not the donor organs that people are waiting for years, and specially grown in the laboratory. Such a breakthrough in science made by scientists from Galveston University of Texas. Researchers admitted to working on a discovery that would save millions lives, many years, and finally it worked. New lungs succeeded grow using parts of damaged organs. Doctors took lungs that for some reason were not suitable for transplantation. Of they removed unnecessary cells, leaving only the “skeleton”, which served as a base. American scientists have grown a human lungPhotos from open sources To this “skeleton” was added the necessary cells and tissues from other lungs (which were also not suitable for transplantation, but retained living cells). And so they collected a new organ. Then the lung was placed in a container with a special fluid (at first a simple aquarium served), where the lung grew and filled with nutrients. Scientists with pride demonstrated to TV channels how a new grown lung with success passes air through itself – inhales and exhales. Pictured lungs completely white. Scientists explained this by the fact that the organ is devoid of cells and there is no blood in it. Till! But very soon an amazing discovery will decide the problem of a lack of donors and will save many lives. Now the most important for doctors is to figure out how to get the lung took root in the human body. – Actually, we raised a lung in laboratories a year ago, – the head of a group of scientists admits Dr. Joan Nichols. “But we were not in a hurry to announce our discovery.” It took us a year to confirm with the help of many experiments that we really did everything right. This is a serious matter, and there is no need to rush to brag. Now that the lungs are confident grown in the laboratory, the plans of scientists – to test the transplant new organs on pigs. And this will happen in the next two years. -Perhaps another 12 years will pass before we decide on transplantation of these lungs to a person, says Dr. Nichols. – but it’s so great! Such discoveries could be read in science fiction books, and we turned science fiction into science fiction fact!
