Scientists Create Lab-Grown Human Tissue That Mimics Organ Functions

 



Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in regenerative medicine by successfully creating lab-grown human tissue that closely mimics the structure and function of real human organs. This innovation marks a significant step forward in biomedical research, disease modeling, and personalized medicine, offering new hope for safer drug testing and future organ replacement therapies.

Using advanced stem cell technology, bioengineering techniques, and 3D tissue scaffolding, researchers were able to guide human cells to self-organize into functional tissue units. These lab-grown tissues replicate key biological processes such as nutrient absorption, electrical signaling, blood filtration, and metabolic activity—functions that are typically difficult to reproduce outside the human body. Unlike earlier models, the new tissue systems demonstrate long-term stability and dynamic responses similar to living organs.

One of the most promising applications of this breakthrough is in drug development. Pharmaceutical testing traditionally relies on animal models, which often fail to accurately predict human responses. Lab-grown human tissues provide a more precise and ethical alternative, enabling researchers to test drug safety, toxicity, and effectiveness with greater accuracy. This could significantly reduce drug development costs and speed up the delivery of life-saving treatments.

Additionally, these engineered tissues offer powerful tools for studying complex diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and genetic conditions. Scientists can model diseases in a controlled environment, observe progression in real time, and test targeted therapies tailored to individual patients. This opens the door to personalized treatment strategies based on patient-specific cells.

While fully lab-grown transplantable organs are still under development, this achievement represents a crucial milestone toward addressing the global shortage of donor organs. As research advances, lab-grown human tissues may revolutionize healthcare, transforming how diseases are studied, drugs are developed, and organs are replaced—bringing science closer to truly regenerative medicine.

Does AI pose a threat to sustainable development?

Image
  The 2025 World Economic Forum, being held in Davos from Monday to Friday under the theme " Collaboration for the Intelligent Age ", is expected to foster a spirit of cooperation and optimism in the digital age in a more sustainable way, despite the different positions of the participants and global uncertainties. Three experts share their views on the issue with China Daily. Projected estimates indicate that advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems will necessitate over $1 trillion in investments for cloud and enterprise data center infrastructure within the next five years. The AI infrastructure includes servers equipped with graphics processing units (GPUs) or custom accelerators, dedicated networks, storage solutions and specialized facilities, which are all factors that demand significant capital investment. Therefore, evaluating the scale, potential returns and environmental impact of AI's rapid development and application is essential. The rise of AI will si...

Building urban resilience to climate change

Image
  Building Urban Resilience to Climate Change is an essential framework for cities to safeguard their infrastructure, ecosystems, and populations from the increasing threats of climate change. As urban areas grow and climate impacts intensify, it's crucial to develop adaptive measures that not only reduce vulnerabilities but also promote sustainable urban development. This approach involves a variety of strategies, including enhancing green infrastructure, improving water and energy management, promoting low-carbon transportation, and integrating climate adaptation into urban planning. Urban resilience focuses on creating systems that are both adaptable and responsive to climate stressors like heatwaves, flooding, and storms. By prioritizing nature-based solutions such as urban parks, green roofs, and wetlands, cities can mitigate heat island effects, improve air quality, and protect biodiversity. Moreover, integrating sustainable architecture, resilient infrastructure, and effici...

'Our model of cosmology might be broken': New study reveals the universe is expanding too fast for physics to explain

Image
 A recent study has revealed a puzzling discrepancy in our understanding of the universe’s expansion rate, suggesting that our current cosmological models may need a significant overhaul. The crux of the issue lies in the Hubble constant (H₀), a measure of the universe's expansion rate, which appears to differ depending on how it is calculated. For decades, scientists have relied on two primary methods to determine H₀. The first involves observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the faint afterglow of the Big Bang, and extrapolating the universe's expansion rate using early-universe physics. The second method uses the local universe, measuring distances to nearby galaxies via "standard candles" like Cepheid variables and Type Ia supernovae. However, these two methods yield conflicting results. The CMB method, based on data from missions like Planck, estimates H₀ to be around 67.4 kilometers per second per megaparsec (km/s/Mpc) . In contrast, local measurements...
