They're basically viable cells, so someone like Bob Lanza at Advanced Cell Technology took some of that
tissue
from an endangered animal called the Javan banteng, put it in a cow, the cow went to term, and what was born was a live, healthy baby Javan banteng, who thrived and is still alive.
You could, if you want, compare this to, on the one hand, a myocardial infarction, a heart attack, where you have dead
tissue
in the heart, versus an arrhythmia, where the organ simply isn't functioning because of the communication problems within it.
In 1982, I was in a mountain-climbing accident, and both of my legs had to be amputated due to
tissue
damage from frostbite.
And sound can actually be felt in the water, because the acoustic impedance of
tissue
and water's about the same.
"By any chance had you kept any frozen
tissue
of this frog?"
This was very exciting, but there was no reason why we should expect that this would work, because this
tissue
had not had any antifreeze put in it, cryoprotectants, to look after it when it was frozen.
Well, we looked at the
tissue
under the microscope.
And then we took the dead nucleus from the dead
tissue
of the extinct frog and we inserted those nuclei into that egg.
It's natural connective
tissue.
This piece of leather is a mere seven
tissue
layers thick, and as you can see, it is nearly transparent.
But one of the things that's really important when we're thinking about stem cells is that obviously stem cells can be many different things, and they want to be many different things, and so we want to make sure that the environment we put them into has enough information so that they can become the right sort of specialist
tissue.
And if we think about the different types of tissues that people are looking at regenerating all over the world, in all the different labs in the world, there's pretty much every
tissue
you can think of.
And actually, the structure of those tissues is quite different, and it's going to really depend on whether your patient has any underlying disease, other conditions, in terms of how you're going to regenerate your tissue, and you're going to need to think about the materials you're going to use really carefully, their biochemistry, their mechanics, and many other properties as well.
So it's going to be very different from
tissue
to
tissue.
And we go in through a pinhole incision so that no other cells from the body can get in, and what happens is that that artificial in vivo bioreactor cavity can then lead to the proliferation of these stem cells, and they can form lots of new tissue, and then over time, you can harvest that
tissue
and use it elsewhere in the body.
And actually we know that those cells in the body, in the embryo, as they develop can form a different kind of tissue, cartilage, and so we developed a gel that was slightly different in nature and slightly different chemistry, put it in there, and we were able to get 100 percent cartilage instead.
And so if we think of bone, obviously my own favorite tissue, we zoom in, we can see, even if you don't know anything about bone structure, it's beautifully organized, really beautifully organized.
And one of the things that we know is that, unfortunately, if you have a heart attack, then that
tissue
can start to die, and your outcome may not be very good over time.
And it would be really great, actually, if we could stop that dead
tissue
either from dying or help it to regenerate.
But, as observed, after most injuries in humans, there is this intervening gap of intact neural
tissue
through which recovery can occur.
And the significance of this is difficult to exaggerate, because what it means that from anybody in this room, but particularly patients, you could now generate a bespoke, personalized
tissue
repair kit.
Female elephants and female hyenas have a penile clitoris, or an enlarged clitoral
tissue
that hangs externally, much like a penis, and in fact it's very difficult to sex these animals by merely looking at their external morphology.
In 1982, both of my legs were amputated due to
tissue
damage from frostbite, incurred during a mountain-climbing accident.
My bionic limbs are attached to my biological body via synthetic skins with stiffness variations, that mirror my underlying
tissue
biomechanics.
The actuators come in, find the surface of the limb, measure its unloaded shape, and then they push on the tissues to measure
tissue
compliances at each anatomical point.
At each node, there's a color that represents
tissue
compliance.
And we've discovered optimality is: where the body is stiff, the synthetic skin should be soft, where the body is soft, the synthetic skin is stiff, and this mirroring occurs across all
tissue
compliances.
Our lungs push air against the closed folds, blowing them open and vibrating the
tissue
to produce sound.
Another vocal development during puberty occurs when the homogenous
tissue
covering the folds specializes into three distinct functional layers: a central muscle, a layer of stiff collagen wrapped in stretchy elastin fibers, and an outer layer of mucus membrane.
It's a super-toxic process, producing pollutants that enter the global ecosystem, build up in fatty
tissue
and threaten the top of the food chain.
