Scientists from University College London trying to restore a man's nose, a technique that consists in having the nasal appendage on one arm and then transplant them in the face.
The patient is a British businessman who lost his nose after suffering from cancer. Experts are convinced that it will be successful and he will have a new nose.
A responsible doctor explained that to get this technique for a new nose for the patient, first had to create a mold. Then the mold was sprayed with a synthetic material that served to waive stem cells.
After creating this basic structure, the experts add millions of cells offering nutrients and environmental conditions necessary for the formation of the cartilage of the nose.
Meanwhile, the skin of her arms was extended after being driven by a small ball lodged under the skin.
This ball is inflated until it grew excess skin. Months later, the device was replaced with a new nose implant and it is in the arm of the man, which has access to all the nerves and blood vessels necessary.
