Create human heart in the laboratory
Scientists have discovered more than 20 ways of developing organs in the human body. This allows many body parts to be created in the laboratory to become popular in just a few years.
They developed and implanted bladder, urethra and trachea implants into patients during clinical trials. Now, research is being done on more complex organs like the heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas and thymus gland. As a result, people can reduce waiting time for transplants as well as prolong life.

These works were detailed at a conference on "health rejuvenation technology" at Cambridge University, according to the Sunday Times.
Professor Aubrey de Gray, who runs the conference, said: "We are witnessing a new era of medicine in which aging diseases can be prevented or even reversed. although they are still studying now, but in the near future, they will become popular '.
One of the speakers, Professor Paolo Macchiarini of Karolinska Institute (Sweden), presented a method to create trachea in the laboratory to support people with throat cancer.
It is cultured using an artificial "scaffold" frame , designed in the shape of the trachea with stem cells taken from the patient.

This method promises to be able to treat thousands of patients with respiratory atrophy, Macchiarini said.
Meanwhile, Professor Doris Taylor from the University of Minnesota, created a human heart by eliminating dead cells from donated and transplanted organs.
Professor Shay Soker of Wake Forest University in North Carolina aims to study miniature human liver with rat liver and human liver stem cells.
However, scientists also added that there is one thing that can never be developed in the laboratory, that is the brain.
