Japan with embryonic cells cloned mice teeth and mouse required

Laboratory in the mice teeth mouse required

Times Roundup Japan scientists use adult mouse embryo cells cultivated in laboratory mice teeth and beard, to be portable to other mice after growth in good condition. The results indicate that scientists may through embryonic cells grown more complex living donor organs, such as cardiac and renal transplantation experiments conducted.

Previously, scientists in the laboratory mice teeth technology has been volatile, but Tokyo University of science and technology research of scientists developed a stable and simple new ways they from mouse embryonic cell extract cells of mouth, and put them into the collagen in culture, the culture Department of quality and mouse mandibular teeth nearby software components are similar, embryonic cells in the new environment smooth Division and growth, and gradually formed a dental cell groups.

Scientists put the cells transplantation to the mouse's abdomen, their two weeks successfully grown into a new teeth. This new teeth can transplant, in addition a mouse of rooting in mouth and grew into a full set of teeth. Scientists can even directly to the teeth cells transplanted into mice oral Group (first a tooth pulled out, stay out of the space), so that its growth into a full set of teeth.

Since then, scientists in the same way on the mouse's beard doing experiments, and achieve success. In their view, the teeth and a beard is not the important organs in the body mouse, you can repeat the removal and transplantation, to verify that the test results, thus exploring organs when and how to regenerate.

Some scientists refer to this method is not perfect, because you cannot control the type of cultivation of teeth, easily lead to the cultivation of organs not Edition. But most people think that it will use cells grown organs make useful contributions, but the technology used in the human organ transplant, there is more work to do.
