A WHOLE functioning kidney has been grown
in a laboratory for the first time, offering
hope to thousands of dialysis patients - and
it could pave the way for livers, lungs,
kidneys and hearts to be made to order.
Organs successfully implanted into rats were
created by removing living kidney cells from
a "donor" rat kidney leaving behind the
organ's tough collagen scaffold.

Did I just read rat kidney. When I opened this thread, I was looking 4ward to read about humans & not rats.
Anyways, it's a step forward to that breakthrough...
Una well done scientists.
