科学家已经成功在实验室培育出人工肾脏,并且移植到动物身上,证明能够产生尿液。马萨诸塞州综合医院的研究人员取出一只老鼠的肾脏,先用洗涤剂洗去老细胞,再向肾脏的适当位置注入新细胞,重建新肾脏。在接下来的12天里,新器官被放在模拟老鼠体内条件的专用温箱里。测试的结果显示,这种肾脏产生的尿液为人体肾脏的23%。随后,实验团队尝试将新器官移植到 Scientists have succeeded in developing artificial kidneys in the laboratory and transplanted to animals to prove they produce urine. Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital removed the kidneys from a mouse, washed the old cells with detergent, infused new cells into the proper kidney and rebuilt the new kidneys. For the next 12 days, the new organ was placed in a dedicated incubator simulating the conditions in the mouse. The test results show that this kidney produces urine of 23% of human kidneys. Later, the experimental team tried to transplant the new organ to it
