pixar ( Score Rank: User did not make predictions in the last 30 days ) pixar  |  closed on 15-Feb-2008 (763 days ago)
Scientists in the US have created an artificial rat heart using the cells of baby rats. With modifications, they should be able to grow a human heart by taking stem cells from a patient's bone marrow and placing them in a cadaver heart that has been prepared as a scaffold.

    I am sure it is being experimented on real human body right now, we just don't know about it.

    The researchers removed all the cells from a dead rat heart, leaving the valves and outer structure as scaffolding for new heart cells injected from newborn rats. Within two weeks, the cells formed a new beating heart that conducted electrical impulses and pumped a small amount of blood, reported the online edition of The New York Times. The scientists said that with modifications, they should be able to grow a human heart by taking stem cells from a patient's bone marrow and placing them in a cadaver heart that has been prepared as a scaffold.
