Ghost Heart | Fort Bend MD

The Ghost Heart! 👻 This is absolutely a medical miracle, a giant step closer for millions in need of new organs. This is an experimental "ghost heart" which has been decelluralized. Decellularization is a tissue engineering technique designed to strip out all the cells from a donor organ, leaving nothing but the connective tissue that used to hold the cells in place. This scaffold of connective tissue - called a "ghost organ" for its pale and almost translucent appearance - can then be reseeded with a patient's own cells, with the goal of regenerating an organ that can be transplanted into the patient without fear of tissue rejection. ▫️ ▫️ FOLLOW👉 @fortbendmd Your daily dose of medicine 💉💊.
