Chinese Grow Dog Bladder Tissue on a Mouse: dailynews.yahoo.com Tuesday August 21 6:36 AM ET China Scientists Grow Dog Bladder Tissue on a Mouse BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese scientists have successfully regrown dog bladder tissue on the back of a mouse in what state media called another big breakthrough for the nation's bio-engineers. Both mouse and dog bladder were doing well after the transplant performed by two researchers with the Beijing-based Military Medical Research Institute, the official Xinhua news agency said. ``Though carrying a 'dog bladder' as big as half a ping-pong ball, the naked mouse still runs around and looks very robust,'' the report said. Meanwhile, the dog bladder ``has expanded fast as the cells keep absorbing nutrition from the mouse.'' China opposes human cloning but has aggressively promoted a biotechnology program to clone tissues such as cartilage and bone for the purpose of conducting human tissue transplants. In January, China established a large research and development center in Shanghai for engineering human tissues. Analysts say China's biotechnological successes -- which also include boosting crop yields -- could help offset food shortages in the region and enhance the reputation of a scientific research market with abundant young talent and a low cost base.
