сердце на 3D-принтере
Израильские ученые впервые создали на 3D-принтере
человеческое сердце с кровеносными сосудами и клет-
ками. Сделано оно было в миниатюре, но, по словам
исследователей, для печати сердца обычного размера
может быть использована та же самая технология. На-
печатанный орган состоит из жировых клеток пациента,
которые были преобразованы в стволовые клетки сер-
дечно-сосудистой мышцы, а затем смешаны с соедини-
тельной тканью и помещены в 3D-принтер.
Black hole picture
captured for first time
in space breakthrough
Astronomers have captured the first image of a black hole,
heralding a revolution in our understanding of the universe’s
most enigmatic objects. The picture shows a halo of dust
and gas, tracing the outline of a colossal black hole, at the
heart of the Messier 87 galaxy, 55m light years from Earth.
The breakthrough image was captured by the Event Horizon
telescope (EHT), a network of eight radio telescopes spanning
locations from Antarctica to Spain and Chile, in an effort
involving more than 200 scientists.
‘Three-person’ baby boy born
in Greece
Fertility doctors in Greece and Spain say they have produced
a baby from three people in order to overcome a woman's
infertility. The baby boy was born weighing 2.9kg (6lbs) on
Tuesday. The mother and child are said to be in good health.
The doctors say they are "making medical history" which could
help infertile couples around the world. The experimental form
of IVF uses an egg from the mother, sperm from the father,
and another egg from a donor woman. It was developed to
help families affected by deadly mitochondrial diseases which
are passed down from mother to baby.
