Transplantable Blood Vessels
Soon should blood vessels that can be stored be made possible. The vessels are made by humacyte. The process of making this started by with smiooth muscle cells . The special thing about them is they can change shape while their functioning . They are capable of lasting a YEAR .I think this is a huge step in biology . Even though the artificial vessels will only last about i year its a start . The docotors will no longer have to do transplants all they have to do is go in the refridgerator . Its cool that they have used them in animals and they actually work we will juss see how it works in humans . Doctors you may have unlocked something NEW !
