EAR GROWS ON MOUSE'S BACKThere's nothing Mickey Mouse about the workof scientists at a medical center here. Medical re-searchers recently grew a human-shaped ear in a labdish, then grafted it onto the back of a mouse. To make the ear, scientists first extracted bitsof cartilage from a human leg. They used those cellsto grow more cartilage cells. The cartilage cells werethen put into a special polymer mold shaped like ahuman ear. Polymer, a biodegradable plastic, ab-sorbed the cartilage cells in about a week. To see if the ear could be attached to a human,scientists inserted the new ear into the skin on amouse's back. The mouse had been specially bred tolack an infection-fighting system, or immune sys-tem. The lack of ah immune system prevented themouse's body from attacking the ear, a processcalled rejection.
