LIVE SCIENCE REPORTED IN JANUARY 2015 ON RESEARCH BEING DONE BY SCIENTISTS AT GANOGEN, INC, A COMPANY THAT TRANPLANTS ORGANS FROM ABORTED BABIES INTO LAB RATS WITH THE GOAL OF GROWING THEM FOR USE IN PATIENTS WHO NEED ORGAN TRANSPLANTS, ALLEGED NEWS.
The article does not say where the research company obtained the aborted babies.
Its findings were published in the January 22 edition of the American Journal of Transplantation.
The abstract of the article states;
"Here we introduce a novel method of transplanting human fetal kidneys into adult rats. To overcome the technical challenges of fetal-to-adult organ transplantation, we devised an arterial flow regulator (AFR) consisting of a volume adjustable saline-filled cuff, which enables low-pressure human fetal kidneys to be transplanted into high-pressure adult rat hosts.
"By incrementally withdrawing saline from the AFR over time, blood flow entering the human fetal kidney was gradually increased until full blood flow was restored 30 days after transaplantation. Human fetal kidneys were shown to dramatically increase in size and function. Moreover, rats which had all native renal mass removed 30 days after successful transplantation of the human fetal kidney were shown to have a mean survival time of 122 days compared to 3 days for control rats that underwent bilateral nephrectomy without a prior human fetal kidney transplant", Alleged News
Technique has reportedly debuted for growing a human kidney, obtained from an aborted human fetus, inside a rat. This new rat model would be 'perfect' for drug testing 'because the animals are smaller and cheaper, making them scalable for pharmacological testing', Eugene Gu, an author of the published study, reportedly told Medical Daily, see [2].
The long term goal is reportedly to have these organs ready for transplant into human patients, Alleged News [2].
