British scientists have grown the world's first artificial liver from stem cells in a breakthrough that will one day provide entire organs for transplant.

The technique that created the 'mini-liver', currently the size of a one pence piece, will be developed to create a full-size functioning liver.
Described as a 'Eureka moment' by the Newcastle University researchers, the tissue was created from blood taken from babies' umbilical cords just a few minutes after birth.

Within five years, the artificial liver could be used to directly benefit people's health.

God bless all those scientists

Perhaps the billions spent on war can be better utilized in health & science

Great and inspiring news in deed. Hope some people would be directly benefited with the lab organs.

Thanks for sharing the news.

hiii guys i am back again well this is suprise 4 u.well about this topic this is old topic even we can take stem cell from bones 2 create heart,liver and another parts of humen body.well i just wanna know student in oman are they studying about this thing or not

Great thread!

This is great news because this kind of stem cell research will surely not just be saving more lives, but also providing a better quality of life for many people.

Afaik, people who have translplants done today have to spend their lives on medication that supresses their own immunity because of the rejecting of what it sees as a foreign body which in turn keeps them "unarmoured" for other deseases such as flu and the common cold among others..

Does using your own chemistry for making new organs remove the problem of your own body rejecting "foreign" transplanted organs?

as great as this sounds..I just don't have a good feeling about people trying to play god. I believe there's a natural order for things and well this doesn't sound very natrual to me.

true nabhan, but neither is resucitation... the body doesn't start itself up again. Or for example cesarian.. babies are never born from the stomach naturally. All successful medicine is invasive in some form.

Just imagine how lucky your kid's kids would be to live in an era when losing an arm in a machine at work wouldn't mean they'd have to be amputees for the rest of their lives..

I agree with stem cell research, as long as it's used properly and for good, ethical and valid reasons.

It will be save because u r using your own cell but this kind of transplant is not in the hospital yet they r researching on it u can create any parts of humen body its very intersting:color: please tell me is this kind of thing is there i mean in oman university

hahaha.. so they'll be a whole new generation of 'penis enlargment' spam in our e-mail inboxes in a few years... :hyper:

This is quite different..they're actually 'Creating' organs now..and well it just sounds twisted..and I have a feeling it will all backfire on us eventually.

^^How?.... or in what way?

well as the studies are going on in Uk about cloning new organs.... cloning organs is not haraam but yeah cloning a human will be haraam .... medical biotechnology which am going to study after one year has shown that its possible that we can clone any organ in the body ..... by using cell from bone morrow.... nothng is impossible with biotechnology.... accept creating a human which is not a right thing .... well let u know more about the cloning latter now have to go to bed bubyeeee
