Beauty with mouse cells grown out artificial liver is expected to be 5 years after the universal

Mouse cells grown out of artificial vascular liver, complex.

According to Hong Kong Wen 15, reported that the United States, a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital successfully exploited in a laboratory mouse cells, propagated out artificial liver.

Scientists hope that this study 5 years may be applied in hospitals, assisted human nurturing the liver.

Massachusetts General Hospital, research fellow, first remove the mouse liver cells, on the left with a "frame", and 2 million healthy liver cells in four times, each time 10 minutes to the injection to the brackets, successfully propagated out build artificial mouse live liver, survival in laboratory 10 days away, and the ability to break down toxins; in addition, the researcher will also be artificial liver transplantation to mice and found it to be normal operating hours.

The report published in the journal Nature Medicine.

Experiment only uses a liver cells, propagated out of artificial liver and liver function properly only play a small part.

Researcher says the future will experiment to join the other liver cells, and on the proper functioning of the liver to cultivate long-term, in order to eventually transplantation to the human body.
