So I've posted a few times before about my decellularization projects. First I did fruit, then I did a liver and now I finally got around to doing a whole heart. The process removes all the cellular material from a piece of tissue to leave only a white scaffold. This has become a fairly common technique in tissue engineering as the scaffold could be used to grow a new heart if you seed it with your own stem cells. I made a video going through the whole process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjcMyicfrL8

that's really cool.

did you ever compare weights prior and post decellularization?
>>
>>988881
No but now that you mention it I wish I had. woulda been cool to see how much stuff comes out
>>
>>988881
I can say that it felt a lot lighter when I picked it up though
>>
>>988888
do you think it weighed 8.8888g less?

did the texture feel any different?
>>
>>988890
felt softer and was easier to compress. When it was fresh you couldn't really squeeze it to make it pump, but afterwords you could. So less tough i guess? I doubt it weighed exactly that much less.

where did you go to school?

I thought it hilarious that some news article recently showed how scientists "just" discovered you can use apples for tissue regeneration/growing. It was a bit of a hurr durr moment.

Right? I get really annoyed with the sheer number of scientist who are so wrapped up in publish or perish they forgot to think and actually innovate. Within a day of understanding decellularization I'd already started thinking of every other kind of tissue where the same technique could be useful. Apples and fruit and such are a very obvious step and it's silly that people missed it for the 10-15 years decellularization has been around.
