What a break through. Read the article. Scientists have actually grown heart valve tissue.

I think it's supposed to be coming into use over the next decade. Hopefully when it comes in it will relieve some of the pressure on organ donation. With an aging population, I guess the demand for organ transplant increases; so it may come at just the right time.
