Gift 礼物

Jiabao Li, 2024

I used stem cells from my menstrual blood to grow heart cells, and then employed 3D bioprinting technology to print the structure of a heart, allowing the heart cells to grow within it, creating a lab-grown heart. This heart grown from my menstrual stem cells is a gift for my mother, who was diagnosed with heart disease this year. Her heart function has significantly deteriorated. Just as my mother created my heart from her womb, I am giving the heart grown from my womb's menstrual blood back to her.

我用我的经血里的干细胞生长出心脏细胞，然后用3D生物打印技术来打印出心脏的结构，并将心脏细胞在里面生长，做出人造心脏。我将这个由我经血干细胞生长出来的人造心脏做一个礼物赠给我的母亲。她今年患了心脏病，心脏的功能大不如从前。我的母亲从她的子宫里面创造了我的心脏，我用我子宫里的经血干细胞生长出来的心脏回赠给她。
