Successfully implanted human ear made from rib into mouse

Tokyo and Kyoto University of Technology recently successfully implanted human ears made from human ribs into the back of a mouse to help children with deformities or people who are unfortunately injured.

This new technology could be used to help babies born with birth defects, people bitten by dogs, firefighters injured in the line of duty or people who are unfortunate enough to be involved in accidents.

Specifically, this implanted ear is made from cartilage taken from the patient's rib. However, creating an ear like this requires doctors and scientists to perform many surgeries. In addition, cutting to get cartilage will cause the patient pain and the patient's chest will never fully heal.

However, this new technique only requires a small sample of stem cells from the patient's body to be transplanted. Therefore, when completed, the ear will become a living cell and develop normally in the child's body.

This is one of the most perfect scientific achievements in the world today.

The scientists will start by turning stem cells into cartilage cells. The lab-grown cartilage cells will then be shaped into small balls and placed in a clear plastic tube shaped like a human ear. Finally, it will be implanted on the back of a mouse. After two months, the scaffold will disappear, leaving the ear shape, about 5cm long, and fit neatly on the mouse's back.

This technique is currently one of the most perfect scientific achievements in the world today. Its purpose is to replace damaged human parts.

Recently, doctors in London also successfully transplanted a nose from a scratch on a patient's arm. In addition, they also created an artificial trachea and a perfect face in the laboratory.
