In what could be a major step in treating children born with a defect, Scientists in China have grown new ears for five children.
According to the researchers, they have conducted a first-of-its-kind study to cure microtia, in which the external ear is small and not formed properly, using cartilage cells from the ears of children.
New cartilage was based on 3-D printed models of the children’s healthy ears. The researchers then transferred the engineered ears to the children and performed ear reconstruction, as per a study published in the journal EBioMedicine.Click Here: Aston Villa Shop
