Good ideas and creative thoughts are what are needed for the advancement of science. I am desperate to discuss my ideas on design enginnering of a bioartificial kidney that could serve as a universal donor organ.

There is so much to say about this, that it requires a totaly seperate discussion list. If there is anyone with the same goal as mine, I would be gald to hear of them as soon as possible.

I know Humes is certainly onto something with the bioartificial kidney. The proxim
al tubule device seems to be a concordant marriage of the biological and mechanic
al as well as the progressive and traditional. I want to know why he did not use
human proximal tubule cell lines. I knew that the cell line are easy to culture
and expand. I also want to know why he did not use the pig proximal tubule cells
which used in artificial liver now.
