Scientists create 5mm dolls in living cells

Creating dolls with living cells is proportionate to giving life to the dead, a exaggerated statement though. However, the overhaul that sounds out of the depth has been given a beginning nudge – scientists at the University of Tokyo revealing a 5mm doll made in living cells. The demonstration that displays a whole new way of biofabricating three-dimensional living structures went into experimentation with researchers cultivating 100,000 0.1mm balls of collagen, coated in dozens of skin cells inside a doll-shaped mold for day, which was then dipped in culture solution and managed to survive there for over a day.

Professor Shoji Takeuchi led research team from University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) also visions to merge several types of cells to create a complex system and then create bodily organs and tissues from these complex cellular structures, which could be beneficial for regenerative medicine and drug making.
