Thread: Kidney grown in lab successfully transplanted to animal

I don't know much about this stuff but I think it is really cool that they did this. Would love to read other's thoughts on it.

Kidney grown in lab successfully transplanted into animal | Science | guardian.co.uk

From the article:

Scientists have grown a kidney in a laboratory and shown that it works when implanted into a living animal. The work is an important step towards the longer-term goal of growing personalised replacement organs that could be transplanted into people with kidney failure.

Yes I know personalized is spelled wrong, but that is how they spelled it in the article. Lazy editors, dumb reporters, who knows who is to blame.

They are just English "personalise" is an accepted variant in UK English...

Home : Oxford English Dictionary&

If anything, "personalized" is the "accepted variant" in the UK; "personalise" is the correct UK English spelling.
The use of Z's instead of S's is considered to be an Americanism.

"This is not an accent, this is just how words sound when spoken properly."

dammit you Brits need to learn how to speak and spell English correctly. lol.

It's because we speak American not English lol. We are still rebelling against the throne.

what i want to know is why the british even have a z if they hardly ever use it?!

but this sounds cool, apparently they've done it with other organs too.

Why did the admin on here make a search bar if they hardly ever use it.
