Introduction
• The opportunity to grow a
human organ in a test tube
and transplant it to a person
in need of a transplant is a
dream of transplant
specialists. Scientists all over
the world are working on
this and have already
learned how to make
tissues, small working copies
of organs, and we really
have very little left before
full-fledged spare eyes,
lungs and kidneys.

Lungs
• Scientists from the University
of Texas have grown human
lungs in a bioreactor. However,
without blood vessels, such
lungs are not functional.
However, a team of scientists
from Columbia University
Medical Center recently
obtained a functional lung
with a perfused and healthy
vascular system in ex vivo
rodents for the first time in
the world.

Heart muscle tissues
• Bioengineers from the
University of Michigan
managed to grow a piece of
muscle tissue in a test tube.
However, the heart from such a
tissue will not be able to work
fully yet, it is twice as weak as
the original. Nevertheless, so
far this is the strongest sample
of cardiac tissue.

Skin
• Scientists from the University of
Zurich (Switzerland) and the
University Children's Hospital of
this city for the first time
managed to grow human skin
permeated with blood and
lymphatic vessels in the
laboratory. The resulting skin
flap is able to almost
completely perform the
function of healthy skin in case
of burns, surgical defects or skin

8.

Ear
• Using stem cells, scientists have
grown a human ear on the back
of a rat. The experiment was
conducted by researchers from
the University of Tokyo And
Kyoto University under the
leadership of Thomas Cervantes.
