The breakthrough in biotechnology: researchers grow human kidneys in the laboratory.


ScitechDaily.com reported that the breakthrough in biotechnology is done. The first time the human kidney is grown in the laboratory. And that thing brings new visions to the minds of the medical industry. The new kidney might not seem very fascinating. But the ability to make new organs for people is a big thing.  

Artificial organs can use to save people who are been in accidents. Or has some kind of disease, But artificial organs can use for many other purposes. Things like artificial eyes can use in the laboratory and replacing some animal tests. 

Artificial organs like bone marrow are suitable for creating counter-toxins or antidotes against things like snake poison. There is the possibility to use biotechnology to create antidotes. In that process, the snake poison will inject into large animals which immune system starts to create antidotes. Then those immune cells or their stem cells where that immune reaction is stored will take from that animal.

And after that those cells will be put into cell cultures that are creating antidotes. The artificial bone marrow makes it possible to create an antidote easier than injecting those chemicals into the animals. The artificial bone marrow will not escape. And it's easier to handle than some animals. 

Artificial organs are the thing that can save multiple lives. If there is a possibility to create artificial organs by using cloning. That thing could revolutionize medicines. 

When we are thinking about stem cell therapy there is the possibility to create artificial stem cells by using the genome transplant. In that process, all cells like bacteria can turn into stem cells simply by changing their DNA. The process can begin just after fertilization when the researchers map the fetus's   DNA. During that process, the DNA can take to storage in molecular or digital form. 

Then that DNA will multiply by using the PCR method. Or nanomachines can create artificial DNA. Then operators will that DNA in the bacteria. And then system removes the bacteria's DNA. That thing turns the bacteria into the stem cell. There is the possibility that in the future the DNA sample of all people is stored in some warehouse where medical staff can take the needed DNA when they need it.

Scientists created synthetic mouse embryos by using stem cells.

Those synthetic embryos are the most fundamental things in biotechnology ever created. Those embryos had hearts and brains. So this kind of cloning technology can use for creating neurons for people whose brain is injured. 

The problem with those neurons is that their memories are gone when they are destroyed. But even the existence of the "spare part" neurons makes it possible to avoid physical damage to the brain structures. 

Same way as scientists can clone mice by using stem cells. They can clone humans or any other mammal. Stem cell technology can be the biotechnology of the future. 

There is the possibility that before humans are born researchers take a couple of stem cells from each embryo for cryogenic storage. This thing makes it possible that each person has stem cells in a stem cell bank. Those stem cells offer the possibility to give stem cell therapy. Or that technology can use to create spare parts for people whose organs are injured. 

The fact is that the DNA of the stem cells can also be stored separately. And nanotechnology allows researchers can change the DNA inside the stem cells. So theoretically if researchers have the DNA in their storage they can use even the stem cells that are taken from mice and change the DNA in the nucleus of that cell. That kind of technology allows the cloning of stem cells. 

The human clones are the thing that offers one version of immortality. The person can make a copy of the body and then transfer the memories to that embryo. There is the possibility that the people of tomorrow have the microchip in their nervous system. And then microchips are copying the memories of the person to the internet. Then those memories will transmit to the younger person's brain through the cortex.

That kind of technology can open fantastic and otherwise frightening visions. That thing can give the person some kind of immortality. But it can also make it possible to create clone armies. And in some visions, the clones can also be used to replace people who are injured. Or their death wanted to be hidden. That is one vision for biotechnology, that allows researchers to create spare parts" for people.

COVID 19 and the visions of tomorrow




COVID Delta plus variants are the things that are causing suspicion that the "delta plus" variants do not even have the same origin as the original COVID-19. There are thousands of other viruses which are looking like same as the original COVID-19. But the surface antigens of those viruses might be different. The problem with coronavirus is that it has two layers.

And the changes in the genomes of those viruses. Can cause the changes of antigens only in the inner layer. That makes detection of the changes of the genomes of the virus very difficult. The thing is that HIV is the coronavirus that is causing the horrible visions that the coronavirus can make combination there inside the regular virus is the HIV. And that thing causes a threat for the entire civilization. 

When traveling become more common that causes the new type of epidemics. The aircraft is a guarantee that viruses and epidemics are spreading faster than ever before. Quarantine orders are from the era of great sails. And that means they became old. And the destiny is in the more and more exotic countries, that thing brings a new type of viruses and bacteria also in the western society. 

The only effective thing for fighting against viruses is the vaccine. But people must take vaccines before infection. If the person is already infected the vaccine has no effect. So there is one thing that might give the change to create a vaccine against things like HIV infection. 

Some bacteria are resistant to most phage viruses. There is the possibility that the genomes of those bacteria can connect with the human genomes. There is an idea that when the human is the fetus person's stem cells are stored for the need in the liquid nitrogen. 

And if those cells can be used for stem cell therapy that guarantees that every person has stored stem cells fit that person. The stem cells can also be cloned by using the cloned DNA. The DNA will pull out from stem cells multiplied by using the PCR method. And then the DNA is injected into the other cells whose own genome is removed. 

The viruses that are infecting macrophages and other immune cells are the changed bacteriophages. The bacteriophages are the viruses that are infecting bacteria in nature. There are bacteria in nature what has resistance against a large number of bacteriophages. 

By researching this bacteria the virologists can find the answer to the HIV problem. The immune system of that bacteria can transfer to the stem cells that are creating the immune cells in human blood. So that kind of genome therapy might make us immune to HIV viruses. The idea that the genome of that bacteria is connected to the human cells might be the solution for HIV.
