Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Scientists at the University of Wisconsin successfully grew a vocal cord using cadaver tissue. Scientists have made promising breakthroughs in the world of bioengineering, successfully growing human kidneys, a mini-brain, and a limb. On Wednesday, a new body part worthy of talk was unveiled: vocal cords. The paper, published in Science Translational Medicine, shows how University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers bioengineered vocal cord tissue from a cadaver. The tissue, which closely resembles real vocal cord tissue, is even capable of transmitting sound. Dr. Nathan Welham, an associate professor of surgery at UW and a speech pathologist, touched on the significance of the discovery. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/11/18/scientists-grew-a-vocal-cord.html --- It's not too late for Katy and Taylor after all. There's hope for them. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Britney can finally stop lip syncing, Mariah can whistle again, Xtina can stop screaming, there's also a hope for Selena to sing. I guess this University will get rich from collecting cheques from these pop girls. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body."

Sizzily 14,571 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 But imagine if in 70 or so years if scientists could grow a person from dead tissues. Or if someone has an amputation, if they could grow an arm and attach the nerves and stuff. Inside my head I have the best time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
