In the future, we may be able to grow a new liver (since a liver is geneticlly simple and has few proteins) and you insert the SC's into this spongey material, and after a few days, you got a new liver! Same for fingers, noses, ears. Right now, we can grow skin, and other simple things..

If you can get a URL on this, please post it.
Actually Z the human body is way ahead of us. If you surgically remove half a liver, the reaming part will start to regenerate and grow once more. Very cool. The human body is amazing to say the least. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dk I donīt think bone would be the most interesting thing to grow in vitro. How about a human heart? Or perhaps a lung? Kidneys would be swell as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]
