How a Canadian 'biohacker' is using apples

Hello,

A University of Ottawa biophysicist has hacked an apple's cell structure and used it to grow human tissue with a technique he hopes might one day pave the way to low-cost organ replacement.Andrew Pelling and his team recently published a study in scientific journal PLOS ONE that details their experience of biohacking the fruit to not only grow mammalian cells, but actually implant them into the body of a mouse.Pelling’s team say they started using apples because their internal cellular structures are well-suited to the job.

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

    I've made several videos on the process. The decellularization steps are super easy. It's reseeding it with cells that's the hard part because the equipment is expensive.

    @chironex is being modest. He also did a great video about decellularizing animal parts.
