Martin Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/conditions/04/03/engineered.organs/index.html... That's pretty interesting. thanks for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bascule Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I was just about to post that story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZoidberg Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Sounds promising, however the details are sketchy i.e. growing a 3D organ from a monolayer of bladder cells - interested to find more on this. Can foresee potential problems already with an organ bank i.e. staff transplanting organs into wrong hosts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, go to lancet and download the paper, fascinating methods used, painstaking work to reform a dual layer of tissue (smooth muscle and urethrial cells) about an organ shaped scaffold.

Good lead: http://www.thelancet.com/ I see that it requires one to register and one must be logged in. However one gets to read abstracts and selected articles (including this one) free of charge.
