Human cells ‘sent back in time’ to behave as they did in the womb can be used to grow networks of blood vessels in the laboratory, according to research by an international team including the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (ICH). The findings mark a significant step forward in engineering tissue and organs to study disease, test treatments or, in the future, offer rejection-free transplants for children with organ failure.The study, led by Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) in the United States, describes a new method for engineering blood vessels that can carry blood and adapt to their surrounding tissue, setting the stage for more complex organs and tissues to be grown in the lab.
