First 'heavy mouse' leads to first lab-grown tissue mapped from atomic life
Cambridge, UK (SPX) May 16, 2014 - Scientists have created a 'heavy' mouse, the world's first animal enriched with heavy but non-radioactive isotopes - enabling them to capture in unprecedented detail the molecular structure of natural tissue by reading the magnetism inherent in the isotopes. This data has been used to grow biological tissue in the lab practically identical to native tissue, which can be manipulated and ana ... more
