In a major scientific first, a team of developmental biologists has built a functional mouse heart from human tissues. The results herald a future where specific patches of heart muscle – or even the whole organ – could be grown for transplantation.
The next step is to see if this approach can be used to create a biomechanically viable tissue - but the implications and promise of this research are astounding. Article from IOS9 and the paper in Nature Communications are well worth reading.
