Brain in a Dish Flies
Plane |

— A
University of Florida
scientist has created a
living "brain" of
cultured rat cells that
now controls an F-22
fighter jet flight
simulator.
Scientists say the
research could lead to
tiny, brain-controlled
prosthetic devices and
unmanned airplanes flown
by living computers.
And if scientists can
decipher the ground
rules of how such neural
networks function, the
research also may result
in novel computing
systems that could
tackle dangerous
search-and-rescue jobs
and perform bomb damage
assessment without
endangering humans.

(CBS) Imagine re-growing a
severed fingertip, or
creating an organ in the lab
that can be transplanted into a
patient without risk of
rejection. It sounds like
science fiction, but it's not.
It's the burgeoning field of
regenerative medicine, in which
scientists are learning to
harness the body's own power to
regenerate itself, with
astonishing results.

Bio-scaffold' Used to
Aid New Organ Growth
|
 Stem
cell researchers have
long sought to be able
to grow replacement
organs. But a major
obstacle has been
delivering a reliable
blood supply to the
growing tissue. Now,
scientists claim they
have a solution to the
problem. (May 20, 2009)

 The
Defense Department has
launched the new Armed
Forces Institute of
Regenerative Medicine.
Stem-cell research and
technology will be
harnessed to find
innovative ways to use a
patient's natural
cellular structure to
reconstruct new skin,
muscles and tendons, and
even ears, noses and
fingers.
