British craftsmen were able to grow in the laboratory, all three types of cells that make up the wall blood vessels . In the future it promises laboratory creation itself veins and arteries that surgeons in the future will be able to simply transplant patients. This is a great alternative to the current shunts and stents.
More than a third of all deaths in the country caused by cardiovascular diseases, which develop due to narrowing blood vessels or blockade of fat deposits (see photo). Replacement of damaged vessels with new ones, which were grown in the laboratory, could in theory be the most effective way to solve this problem, all of which are only known medicine.
In addition, laboratory blood vessels It can be used to treat patients in need of kidney dialysis and shunt legs. They can heal damaged in accidents artery in patients at risk of limb loss. And no rejection is not planned, because the blood vessels grown from a patient's own stem cells.
In June last year, a biotechnology company from California has managed to grow in the laboratory entirely blood vessels and their transplant patients three-pochechnikam. But British scientists were the first in the world to grow multiple types of vessels that can be used more widely. For one type of vessel is not suitable for different purposes.
