      I have made cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) in the lab (like the ones you have seen in the christmas lecture). They are really interesting and when they get older and develop further, they start beating..so freaky….and really cool!!
      I love seeing how your cells change and behave differently, every time amazing 🙂

      I am currently trying to make blood cells (not really a tissue, but as close as I’ll get) so in a way, yes!

      I work with Drosophila which already have every tissue type so I don’t need to try and make them.
