Rebuilding tissues

Behold, a "ghost heart!" All of the living cells have been washed off this pig heart, so it can provide a scaffolding for human stem cells to grow a new, working heart. So far, scientists at the Texas Heart Institute have successfully implanted tissue-engineered hearts like this one into rats and pigs, and they hope to someday do the same in humans. Read about this and other bio-engineering experiments in the new TED Book, “Super Cells.” Photo courtesy of RMR Labs, Texas Heart Institute.

Take care of your liver

Our health depends on the ability we have to eliminate 

harmful wastes from our body, either internal or external.

"Normally our daily food waste are expelled from our cells and enter the blood that carry our excretory organs (primarily the liver and kidneys) this is where it is processed and taken to the organs of evacuation." 

Why do we have to care so much about our liver? Because the liver has us constantly debugging. 

• It helps filtering the blood and purifies 
• It metabolizes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. In fact, it is responsible for converting carbohydrates and fat protein 
• Secretes bile (which helps with the digestion of fats - cholesterol and metabolizes bilirubin etc.) 
• It stores glycogen 
• Converts fructose to glucose 
• Eliminate drugs, hormones and other substances
