World's first! "Pig liver" successfully transplanted into the human body

2024/03/22

On March 10, led by Academician Dou Kefeng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Director Tao Kaishan from Hepatological Surgery Department, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University made a major breakthrough in the clinical research of liver heterotransplantation: the whole liver of a multi-gene edited pig was successfully transplanted into a brain-dead patient using the auxiliary liver transplantation method. During the operation, the transplanted liver secreted bile immediately after blood flow was restored with no hyperacute rejection, and functioned continuously for more than 96 hours.

Cryopreservation is known as the technique of solidifying time, by cooling biological materials (e.g. cells, tissues and organs) to low temperatures with the addition of cryoprotectants (generally -196°C liquid nitrogen preservation), and then rewarming them to normal temperatures (37°C) in an effective manner when needed, at which time the biological samples can still be restored and maintain their activity.

In recent years, low-temperature biomedicine, a less popular subject, is attracting more and more attention, attracting more and more scientists to join it. Among them, the cryopreservation technology of cells, tissues and organs, and even the entire human body continues to make progress and is gradually used in clinical applications.

"Science" big news! The secret of longevity that can live for 200 years was found deep in the ocean!

For natural life, aging and death are inevitable. A common hallmark of aging is that cells slowly lose their ability to produce new, healthy cells to repair damage. However, as both vertebrates, some Pacific rockfish can live for more than 200 years, while others can only live for about 10 years. The life span of the two differs by 20 times! This also makes the former one of the longest-lived vertebrates. This difference in lifespan has attracted keen interest among scientists.

Freezing juvenile testicular tissue to preserve male fertility

Nowadays, the incidence rate of cancer is getting higher and higher, and it is getting younger and younger. Many people are not yet married and have children, but unfortunately they are suffering from the disease. Because once you suffer from cancer, the use of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods are likely to damage the reproductive organs, affect the production of male or female hormones, and cause the patient to be infertile.

Japanese Wagyu beef grown in laboratory using 3D bioprinting technology

According to the Global Times, Japanese scientists recently used 3D printing technology to successfully create Wagyu beef with a marbled effect. The manufactured meat products contain protein, fat, and even blood vessels. Researchers say such "cultured" steaks are more environmentally friendly than their traditional counterparts. Wagyu is an expensive and highly sought-after beef breed from Japan.

Smaller than the diameter of a hair! New breakthroughs in the field of micro- and nano-robots

Not long ago, an international team including Chinese scientists developed a "miniature paper crane" that is smaller than the diameter of a hair. Under the influence of voltage, it can automatically fold from a flat surface in less than one second. As a new micro-actuator with a size of only tens of microns, this imaginative paper crane is another breakthrough in the field of micro-nano robot research and development.

Hard-won! my country’s first “frozen baby” undergoes health review

Recently, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital welcomed a special baby. This is the first child in China to become pregnant naturally after a successful transplant of cryopreserved ovarian tissue. The 45-day re-examination results showed that all indicators of the baby were normal and everything was healthy!

Yinfeng Institute of Biological Sciences’ research results on “Stem Cells Promote New Bone Growth” were published in foreign journals

Large-segment bone defects are common clinical diseases, and stem cells and bone tissue engineering are considered to be a promising method for bone regeneration. Recently, a team from Shandong Yinfeng Life Sciences Research Institute and Shandong University collaborated to study a nanocellulose membrane platform for multi-lineage differentiation of stem cells to biomimetically construct bioactive three-dimensional bone-like tissue, which can significantly promote the rapid growth of new bone and capillary growth. Rapid formation of blood vessels and nerve fibers.
