The Japanese scientists managed to create a human eye from the stem cell taken from edge of a cornea which carries out regenerative function.
As informs the New Region, the stem cell has been placed in a nutrient medium. After a week it has developed into a group of cells, and on the fourth week had transformed into a cornea in two centimeters diameter. In such a way was also created thin protective layer which covers the cornea from outside, informs http://e-news.com.ua.
As a nutrient medium the Japanese scientists used artificial chemical compounds, instead of traditional mouse cells or the veal whey. Thus, the new way of transplantation eliminates risk of infections from animals.
As soon as safety of new technology will be proved, the Japanese scientists will start clinical tests.
