Scientists Grow Organ in Animal from Cells Created in Lab
The completion of a new study has ensured that laboratory-grown replacement organs have moved a step closer to reality. Scientists have grown a fully functional organ from transplanted laboratory-created cells in a living animal for the first time. The researchers have created a thymus - an organ next to the heart that produces immune cells known as T cells that are vital for guarding against disease. They hope that, with further research, ...
