Stem: Created entirely in the first eye test tube



Exceptional result medical science: From the sun stem cells it was possible to “build” a complex organ such as the eye entirely in tube. This is a result of exceptional importance that can open doors in the near future, Transplantation cornea or other parts of the eye without having to wait for a donor. M back to the news of the eye laboratory was obtained thanks to the work of a team of developmental biologists, biochemists and bioengineers in a major research institute Japanese, Riken Kobe.
The scientists, led by Yoshiki Sasai, have managed to create an eye “simply immersing stem cells taken from a embryo Mouse in a broth culture in which cells were able to proliferate and, miracle, spontaneously organize themselves to form a three-dimensional structure that is called “Optical glass”, Which then develops the retina.
The thing that has surprised even the researchers themselves is the ability shown by these undifferentiated cells, to “respond” to a kind of intrinsic control, and organized in a uniform and coordinated without the use of biocompatible tissue created ad hoc, As had been previously used for other n bodies in test tubes.
A discovery so important to have immediately gained the cover of the prestigious scientific journal Nature which led the authors to comment, optimistically that: “We have started a new page in the regenerative medicine and with it, new ways to transplant retinal tissues obtained artificially, instead of the simple cell transplantation“.
