Spinach Leaves To Grow Human Tissue

Plants may be able to help create pre-vascularized scaffolds for tissue engineering technologies, according to a multidisciplinary team of scientists from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Arkansas State University-Jonesboro.

Pre-vascularized scaffolds from spinach leaves can grow human tissue
- Tissue implants need vascular network for nourishment
- Current vascular scaffolds are costly, incompatible and time consuming to produce
- Recent research turns to plants to generate scaffolds that address these gaps
