Scientists Create Flubber
Written by WTJ on January 23, 2009 – 12:09 pm -Flubber (1997) is a movie about a professor at a college trying to create a new source of energy with his assistant. In the end, he created a rubbery bouncy creature which it was called Flubber.
The image above that looked like Flubber is not Flubber (sorry for fooling you with the title). It is a 5 mm capsule doll composed of living cells created by scientists at University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science (IIS). The researchers cultivated hundred thousand cell capsules which each coated with dozens of skin cells into the doll-shaped mold, hence creating a doll-shaped tissue. IIS lead researcher professor Shoji Takeuchi said that this technique can create body organs and tissues which is useful in regenerative medicine and drug development.
