Tissue cultivation is a very fascinating and current scientific investigation with a lot of potential. The tissue cultivation starts with suitable undifferentiated cells, also called stem cells, that are put into a design of synthetic material of the organ of interest (for example a bladder). At this moment the cells will divide, develop into the organ and the organ can be transplanted into the patient where the synthetic material will dissolve. Tissue cultivation could be the solution for people who are on a waiting list for a donor and for the rejection symptoms that occur during transplantation. However, the new method isn’t ready to use yet because there are some problems like the support material that’s needed, the supply of nutrition and the chemicals that are essential for the differentiation of the stem cells. But who knows, maybe in the future tissue cultivation will really be put into practice!
