Lynz donates cells
Lynz is the second cell donor, coming in for a wisdom tooth extraction at Guys on May 23rd. The first Image below comes directly after the extraction, where a couple of stitches are going in.
The second shows the explanted bone tissue which is the source for culturing subsequent cells. The chip is broken into smaller pieces to give a larger surface area for the initial stages, were cells migrate out of the tissue into a liquid nutrient.
Thanks Lynz and Trish for coming all the way to London for the operation, more images to follow soon.
