BLT (bone marrow/liver/thymus) model
The BLT model is constituted with human HSCs, bone marrow, liver, and thymus. The engraftment is carried out by implantation of liver and thymus under the kidney capsule and by transplantation of HSCs obtained from fetal liver.
Can’t exactly start cutting chunks out of living people’s livers.
Really makes you want a BLT for lunch, not.
Can’t someone donate upon their death? If they die in the hospital the tissue could be harvested then. This is just disgusting cutting up a baby while it is still alive. What logic could justify this in the minds of the people doing it so they could sleep at night?
