Scientists at the University of Minnesota are celebrating an exciting medical breakthrough. Researchers have been able to create tiny mouse lungs in the lab that are able to breathe. The lungs were created with stem cells and attached to a ventilator (…)
In the cancer center, they took a mouse lung and stripped away all its cells. Then, injected the natural framework with stem cells. At first they used fetal mouse lung cells, but this year they had another breakthrough using adult stem cells called “induced pluriopotent stem cells.”
“That’s basically a cell that we can take from anybody and re-program to act like an embryonic stem cell,” added Price (…)
