Merging of stem cell and 'organ-on-a-chip' technologies by Cambridge, MA-Harvard scientists, can now grow a functioning human heart tissue carrying an inherited cardiovascular disease. The research appears to be a big step forward for personalized medicine, as it is working proof that a chunk of tissue containing a patient's specific genetic disorder can be replicated in the laboratory.

Stem Cells from Patient to Make 'Heart Disease-On-A-Chip'
Merging of stem cell and 'organ-on-a-chip' technologies by Cambridge, MA-Harvard scientists, can now grow a functioning human heart tissue carrying an inherited cardiovascular disease. The research appears to be a big step forward for personalized medicine, as it is working proof that a chunk of tissue containing a patient's specific genetic disorder can be replicated in the laboratory.
