Scientists develop human ears on the back of the mouse: they will be custom-made

Japanese scientists have recently published their findings: a mouse with ears on its back. They said that human ears can achieve "private ordering" within five years.

This technique can grow the cartilage structure of the ear within two months.

On January 26th, Japanese scientists recently published their findings: a mouse with ears on its back. They said that human ears can achieve "private ordering" within five years. Developed by the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University, this technology can be used to help children with congenital facial deformities or children who are bitten by dogs. In addition, adults who are injured in an accident or on the battlefield can also benefit from it.

The current method used by the hospital is to remove a piece of cartilage from the patient's ribs and then carve it into the shape of the ear. However, this method requires multiple operations, and it is very painful to remove the cartilage from the ribs, and it is difficult to completely heal in life. Now, this new technology requires only a small amount of cell samples to be used as a material for cultivation. Moreover, the cultivated ear is active and can grow as the child grows.

During the cultivation process, scientists first converted human stem cells into chondrocytes. These cartilage cultured in the laboratory will then grow into small balls and then placed in a plastic tube in the shape of a human ear that is placed on the back of the mouse. Two months later, the outer frame of the plastic tube will decompose on its own, leaving an ear about 2 inches (about 5 cm) long and flat on the back of the mouse.

In addition to this technology, there are several similar technologies in the world that are being perfected. Their goal is to make alternatives to human organs, replacing damaged, disease-damaged, or congenital malformations in accidents. Part of the human body. The doctor in London has made a nose "out of thin air", but with the patient's own arm instead of the back of the mouse as a medium. They also created an artificial trachea and said that the entire facial tissue in the laboratory will sooner or later become a reality.
