Kidney Grown in Laboratory
Scientists have grown a kidney in a laboratory and shown that it works when implanted into a living animal. The work is an important step towards the longer-term goal of growing personalised replacement organs that could be transplanted into people with kidney failure.  http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/vao...l/nm.3154.html |

Re: Kidney Grown in Laboratory
Another step forward in the right direction, give it a handful of years and we'll be growing liver, hearts etc. I can see people living alot longer in the distant future is such feats prove to be accomplished effectively.
