Title: Ghost heart Written by: duddy on Jan 2, 2014 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_02_01_14_3_55_08.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14953) This is a 'ghost heart' it was soaked in an ingredient found in shampoo to wash away all the cells. This technique leaves a protein scaffold that can be injected with stem cells from a person who needs a transplant, guaranteeing that the transplant won't be rejected. Comments: this is amazing Written by: mcrawford on Jan 4, 2014 Sodium dodecyl sulphate and Triton X-100 is used. Apparently you can actually do this with strong sulphate shampoos. Probably no good for transplanting, though! Written by: padre on Jan 3, 2014 |
