Alexander Seifalian: Making Body Parts

Growing human spare parts

Daily Mail: 'This is a nose we’re growing for a patient next month,’ Professor Alexander Seifalian says matter-of-factly, plucking a Petri dish from the bench beside him. Inside is an utterly lifelike appendage, swimming in red goo. Alongside it is another dish containing an ear. ‘It’s a world first,’ he says smiling. ‘Nobody has ever grown a nose before.’

His lab is little more than a series of worn wooden desktops strewn with beakers, solutions, taps, medical jars, tubing and paperwork, and looks like a school chemistry lab. But it’s from here that Seifalian leads University College London’s (UCL) Department of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine, which he jokingly calls the ‘human body parts store’.

At one desk he picks up a glass mould that shaped the trachea – windpipe – used in the world’s first synthetic organ transplant. At another are the ingredients for the revolutionary nanomaterial at the heart of his creations, and just beyond that is a large machine with a pale, gossamer-thin cable inside that’s pulsing with what looks like a heartbeat. It’s an artery. ‘We are the first in the world working on this,’ Seifalian says casually. ‘We can make a metre every 20 seconds if we need to.’ >>>

بعضی‌ از حضرات المحترمِ این تارنمای برجسته انگاری الان از پشتِ کوه آمدند... یا فارسی‌ بلد نیستند و فهم و ادراک در حدِ بوشمن‌ها و یا خودشان را به خواب زدند.

جریان را این گونه نقل کردند (در آن آدرسی که دادیم قضیه نوشته شده اما دریغ از یکبار خاندانِ آن !) که این شخص با همان اسمی که ما دادیم واردِ یک تیمِ پجوهشی/تهقیقاتی می‌‌شود،این گروهِ تحقیقاتی‌ برای اولین بار نای مصنوعی را در ایران می‌‌سازد،امری تقریبا غیر ممکن در جهان اما این شخص ناپدید می‌‌شود و این دانش به اسمِ انگلستان (بیش از این حدس زده می‌‌شود) چندی بعد ثبت می‌‌شود،این دانش اجازه می‌‌دهد که اندام امسنویی به روشی‌ بی‌ نزیر ساخته شود.

بحث سرِ این است که چرا این دانش و علم به انگلستان برده شده،چیزی که مالِ ایران بوده اما چندی از ایرانیان (ایرانی نما ،خالی‌ بند و مغزِ سطحی) این را حالیشان نیست،بروید اندکی‌ تحقیق کنید،و انقدر بی‌خودی در رابطه با کسی‌ قضاوت نکنید و اینقدر ساده دل‌،ساده اندیش و ساده پندار نباشید.

داستان همین است،حال خواستی‌ خبر دار به اوضاع باشی‌ و خواستی‌ چشم بسته در باتلاق نا آگاهی‌ دست و پا زنی.

who post on this site. Whatever this doctor is, he seems to be doing a good thing.

Focus your negativity (of which we Iranians have plenty) on the anti nationalist regime of the unelcted clergy occupying your ancestral land. The rest is pure horse shit!

Good Job. by next couple years we are going to have a lot of these parts in the super market, if any body undrestabd what is point.

Polymer can do more and more. Still they have problem  to make some parts of human area. like eyes and parts of brain.

But not too far.

Let see what they will show us in next couple years.

Such a shame Iran is on such a steep decline and our scientists

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Wed May 09, 2012 07:43 PM PDT

need to flee Iran to live with freedom.  There are no limits to what Iranians can accomplish, when they celebrate their own culture, support it, defend it and not betray it.  Iranians Shouldn't expect help from the USA/UK/France in helping Iranians restore their freedom and defend their culture, they are in love with the barbaric IRI exactly becase it is so abusive and retards Iran better than any enemy could.

It seems like he is going round cutting people's limbs and throw them in the pickle jars in his lab.

You are so clueless that it is not even funny anymore. Do you understand the first thing about growing human tissue? You reference a meaningless site as your evidence. Should I laugh or should I cry. I was in Iran last year for a conference, and the state of the countires healthcare is terrible. Patients to had purchase their own IV solution. If they family was not around, the patient was screwed, and you are talking about growing trachea?!!! Open your eyes and look with it. Perhaps you need to change your name to vineager!

I think you are talking non-sense. Of course this is not your first time, and I really think you are missing part of your brain's frontal lobe. There are many Iranian scientists like this wonderful Iranian who are living outside Iran, but we had to move away from our beloved country because of stupid fools like you. Yes dear red wine, our country is being run by your bodies who have the common sense of a goat. So he is not selling Iran, he is just contributing to what we call human race. Grow up, but I do not think you are capable of it!!!

ایشان علی‌ اکبر سیف علیان است که حال بنا بر دلایلی نام عوض کردند و دانشی را که در ایران کسب نمودند به پای خارجیان گذاشته و ثبت به نام ایشان کنند.

Iranians have cornered the market!

by Kaveh Nouraee on Wed May 09, 2012 09:50 AM PDT

After all, it is very well known that Iranians are very good at growing noses.

Agreed, Faramarz, if this man can grow brains for Iranians, it will be a seller's market.
