Fetal Scalps and Back Flesh Grafted Onto Rats and Mice

In September, researchers at University of Pittsburgh published their work on the development of humanized mice and rats with “full-thickness human skin.” ....

Full-thickness human skin from fetuses was grafted onto rodents while simultaneously co-engrafting the same fetus’s lymphoid tissues and hematopoietic stem cells from the liver, so that the rodent models were humanized with organs and skin from the same child.

These “human Skin and Immune System (hSIS)-humanized” mouse and rat models are meant to aid the study of the immune system when the skin is infected.

To make the hSIS-humanized rodent models, full-thickness fetal skin was taken from humans aborted at the gestational age of 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy at the Magee-Women’s Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences Tissue Bank.

The mothers provided written consent for the fetuses to be used in research.

From the aborted fetuses, thymus, liver, spleen and full-thickness skin were transplanted and grafted onto the rodents and allowed to grow.

Then the rodent models were given a staph infection on the skin to study how the internal organs responded.

The human skin was taken from the scalp and the back of the fetuses so that grafts with and without hair could be compared in the rodent model.

Excess fat tissues attached to the subcutaneous layer of the skin was cut away, and then the fetal skin was grafted over the rib cage of the rodent, where its own skin had been removed.

The grafts lasted up to 10 weeks post-transplantation. Multiple layers of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts were observed in the grafts, ...

The work was funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH)...

What kind of sick mind would even conceive of this experiment?

Why not ask the University of Pittsburgh? They sanctioned it!
