Bones grown in lab could be used to repair badly damaged limbs

The video tutorial explains the process of growing bones from fat tissue stem cells, initially tested on rats, with human trials planned for later. It details the steps of scanning the injured bone to create a scaffold, extracting fat tissue via liposuction, and applying stem cells to grow a new bone over a month. The scan ensures the implant fits the broken bone perfectly.

When are human experiments scheduled to take place?

• Next year

• Later this year

• In two years

• They have already started

What method is used to extract fat tissue for the procedure?

• Liposuction

• Surgery

• Injection

• Ultrasound
