Spider-like blood vessels

British scientists have shown how to create body parts similar to the web-weaving spider.

The cycle begins with a mixture of cells and polymer resins. A 10,000 volt electric needle is used to pull and weave into new tissues.

BBC quoted Dr. Suwan Jayasinghe as interpreting, like the way a spider weaves a network, we can create a continuous thread of cells and plastic to weave into large pieces of tissue.

This electric weaving technology has been applied to "weave" the walls of blood vessels in mice, with three different layers, according to the Small report.

Experts assessing this technique may yield better results than other ways of making body parts for transplantation, such as artificial scaffolding and implantation of the disease itself. multiply, or use peeling detergent to remove the host cells in the donated internal organs.
