Ivumele Ikhule: Isikhumba esenziwe elebhu manje singakhiqiza ezaso izinwele nezindlala zokujuluka

Uma ubulindele isikhumba esikhule elebhu ukuze sibe nekhono lokuhluma izinwele njenge-Chia Pet, manje isikhathi sokugubha. Iqembu labacwaningi e-Tokyo University of Science lenze igxathu elikhulu kwezokwelapha ekwenzeni isikhumba esikhule elebhu siziphathe ngokuseduze ngendlela isikhumba semvelo esenza ngayo.

Ngaphambi kwalokhu kuthuthuka, isikhumba esikhule elebhu besihlinzeka kuphela ngenzuzo yobuhle ezigulini ezixhunywe esikhunjeni, kodwa “isikhumba” besintula ukusebenza kwekhwalithi noma amandla okusebenzelana nezicubu ezizungezile. Le ndlela entsha yokukhula kwesikhumba ngokusetshenziswa kwama-stem cell, nokho, manje ayivumeli izinwele kuphela, kodwa nezindlala ezikhiqiza uwoyela ezikhiqiza uwoyela kanye nezindlala zokujuluka nazo zikhule.

Okutholakele Kwabo

Beholwa nguRyoji Takagi, abacwaningi baseJapan basebenze namagundane angenaboya acindezelwe amasosha omzimba njengezifundo zokuhlola. Ngokukhuhla izinsini zamagundane ukuze baqoqe amasampula ezicubu, abacwaningi bakwazi ukuguqula lawo masampuli abe amaseli e-stem akhiwe ngobunjiniyela, abizwa ngokuthi amaseli e-pluripotent (amaseli e-IPS); la maseli abe esenakekelwa ngesethi yezimpawu zamakhemikhali ezazizowenza aqale ukukhiqiza isikhumba. Ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa zokukhula kulebhu, izimpande zezinwele nezindlala zazizoqala ukubonakala.
