\n<\/p>\n

\n Blood and human brain cells have been used to create a \u201cliving brain aneurysm\u201d for a scientific experiment.<\/p>\n

The concept may sound creepy but it could provide doctors with an invaluable insight into how to treat the condition without the risk of experimenting on a human.<\/p>\n

A brain aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel in the brain begins to balloon in size and could burst.<\/p>\n

This can cause severe headaches, blurred vision and can be life-threatening if left untreated as it may rupture.<\/p>\n

High blood pressure and smoking are thought to be factors that result in this medical condition.<\/p>\n

In order to study them further, researchers in the US have bio-printed the first \u201cliving\u201d brain aneurysm outside of the human body.<\/p>\n

They then conducted a medical procedure on it and watched how it healed.<\/p>\n

If a human patient has a brain aneurysm that manages to get spotted before it ruptures, there are some current treatment options available.<\/p>\n

However, these are very invasive and not the most pleasant.<\/p>\n

One involves removing part of your skull and surgically clipping the base off the aneurysm.<\/p>\n

The other involves inserting a catheter through an artery in your groin all the way up to the aneurysm.<\/p>\n

A coil is then sent through the catheter and blocks the aneurysm.<\/p>\n

Both treatments aim to stop blood flow to the aneurysm so it won\u2019t get bigger.<\/p>\n

Experiments on the 3D printed aneurysm could lead to a new treatment being created or it could just become a more efficient way to train surgeons.<\/p>\n

It was made by scaffolding human brain cells on a gelatin-fibrin hydrogel structure.<\/p>\n

This was the first time human cells have been used in this specific way.<\/p>\n

Cow blood plasma was then passed through the structure and the team was able to stop the flow using a coil technique.<\/p>\n

The researchers hope their experiment could be used to make models for specific aneurysms so doctors know exactly how to treat a patient.<\/p>\n

A study about the aneurysm has been published in the journal Biofabrication.<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
