Cotton candy machines make tasty treats, but now they’re being used to make a sweet advancement in science: creating human cells. Engineers at Vanderbilt University are working to help the body re-grow its own tissue. But, to do that, the tissue needs access to oxygen and nutrients from the blood. That’s where the cotton candy machine comes in. Fibers are whipped up into threads, covered in gel, hardened, and dissolved, so the hardened gel is left with tunnels for the blood to move around and feed the tissues. The team hopes this discovery will allow scientists to build organs in the future. What do you think about this?
