The French Canadian surgeon who is operating on Rosie's sister is pressing stem cells, and using a cadaver transplant. I am not sure of what is going to happen next month. I think science is changing so very fast. I hope and pray that one day we will have no need for any threads like this. Cancer and other diseases just suck big time.
Thank you for letting us know about this news. How wonderful! ![]() |

That's great to hear!....It makes me want to go back on the web and do further research....I was once studying about scaffolding for artificial livers many years ago....

That's really awesome!! If you do check it out and find out anything else, would you be so kind as to post it here?

I sure will....At the time, the need for donor livers exceeded what was available....Since the liver is the only organ that is capable of regeneration they were trying to use the hepatocytes to grow onto(?) or was that within(?) the scaffolding....The difficulty was the material used for the scaffolding (I believe )that was problematic at that time...

Well, I think I found a site that might be worth looking at insofar as scaffolding and creating a suitable human liver for transplantation....The site is: www.medpage.com
It appears like they are onto something....The vascular architecture of the liver is very complicated to replicate via biomedical engineering.....The seeding of the scaffold, how many millions of hepatocytes are needed for a successful regeneration, and successful transplantion---simply enormous.... |
