Spinach Heart

/in , /by

Scientists have found a way to turn spinach leaves into human heart cells that function. Yes. Spinach Leaves.

Scientists pump a detergent through the spinach which strips it of all of its plant cells, turning it into a clear shell made of cellulose. The scientists then culture the heart cells by sending both fluids and microscopic beads through the spinach’s veins to feed the new cells.

It’s safe and potentially a great way to grow new heart tissue. Other methods such as 3D printing aren’t as good as Spinach as printing can’t replicate a complex network of veins which are needed to grow cells. What’s incredible is that the cellulose in the Spinach is bio compatible so you won’t have to worry about your body rejecting it (If it was 3D printed)

It is just research at the moment and is a long way off but if this happens it could be HUGE and not just for other body parts too.

If Homefront: The Revolution didn’t seem sick enough already, the guys over at Deep Silver have announced MORE features. Check below for more info:

Deep Silver today unveiled the  Homefront®: The Revolution ‘Merits’ program – a reward scheme for members of the Homefront community. All you got to do is register at Homefront-Game.com and earn merits by completing simple actions on the website. Almost as easy as taking candy from a baby!

Each merit that you guys earn unlocks a piece of Combat Gear from the Red Rebel set, which then can be used to customise your Co-Op character in Resistance Mode. How do I get this gear to use in-game I hear you ask? Simply link your profile to your Xbox/PSN/Steam account to your Homefront account a little bit closer to when the game releases in May. There’s a total of 7 Merits for you to get your teeth sunk into and more will be released over a period of weeks.

AND if that weren’t enough there’s a new ‘Hearts and Minds 101’ Featurette that’s been released (Video Above) which highlights how you guys can perform actions in the open world of Homefront®:The Revolution, which with a bit of luck will ignite a Revolution!!!!

Homefront: The Revolution is scheduled for release on 17th May 2016 in North America, and 20th May 2016 in all other territories on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC.
