It's great to hear that the transplant was a success. Hopefully, it stays that way Smile

There's incredible potential for this. It's just very difficult to study or ethically experiment on human patients.

That stuff is mind-blowing. Very impressive! I wonder if it could relate to cloning and lab grown organs (for the animal rights activists and general ethics). Can you imagine if we could sort of "mass-produce" organs that could save so many people.
