between the new advances in science this week, we have the news that has been created the first artificial kidney in the laboratory.
In order to reduce the demand for transplants and look forward to donors, the development of artificial organs has made significant progress and seeks to offer a new alternative to those who require new somewhere in your body.
at the University of Massachusetts has manufactured an artificial kidney based on collagen, which was later transplanted into a rat: apparently in a few days the new kidney was able to perform functions important in the body of the animal, although at the moment it continues much to be desired in comparison to a real organ donation.
However, it has been argued that more medical studies and development later, soon bioartificial organs can be a trusted resource when it comes to transplanting missing organs to those in need, and as already stated, not rely on long delays such as those that currently there are waiting for donor.
Is quite possible that within the next few months is practiced to make bioartificial liver transplants in people: perhaps not kidney at the beginning, but you could try with another type of organs: as reactions to be assessed are these tengana, accessibility that people have towards this type of alternative therapy to increase.
Although, taking into account the cost that should represent have an organ made in the laboratory, perhaps not everyone can afford it: However, as well as launched campaigns of support for low-income people and that they cannot afford bone marrow transplants or certain types of operations, do not doubt that eventually they can be financed with the help of various associations.
