Anthony Atala and collagues from North Carolina's Wake Forest University had successfully transplanted bladders grown in a lab from the patients' own cells.
They took a bladder biopsy from each patient and isolated muscle cells and special bladder cells called urothelial cells, which they grew in the lab.
The cells were then placed onto a specially designed bladder-shaped scaffold and left to grow for seven to eight weeks.
The researchers surgically attached the engineered bladder to the patient's own bladder and followed progress for up to five years.
A little scary. Whoever leads this group would have a lot of power. I think I saw a part of the intro to "Mindhunter" in the clip, as well as a scene from "The Joker" where the joker puts on his makeup. I wonder if it is just coincidence and they made their own video, or if they took clips from various sources.
45 years ago, the military tried to recruit me out of college. With no agenda other than looking out for my well being, I asked, "How can you expect to get anyone any good when you are offering one third the wages of civilian jobs?" If he gave an answer, I do not remember it. If there is one branch of the military that should be good at finding employees, it should be PSYOPS. That they need a recruitment video has me worried.
