Have you, like me, put your internal organs through slightly more wear n’ tear than was strictly necessary in the past? Worried perhaps, that your most likely causes of death are spontaneous combustion or melting, Robocop/Wicked Witch style? Well worry no more! Thanks to the chaps at the excellent cloningresources.com, it turns out that your clapped-out pancreas will soon be replaceable! With..you guessed it…reanimated rat parts. And I quote:
By using a process called whole organ decellularization, scientists from the University of Minnesota Center for Cardiovascular Repair grew functioning heart tissue by taking dead rat and pig hearts and reseeding them with a mixture of live cells.
I am assuming that University of Minnesota is an anagram of ‘Miskatonic Institute‘ But obviously messing with forces man wasn’t meant to understand is always a good thing! Can’t wait for them to whip me up a new liver- good work dangerous and morally ambiguous scientists everywhere!
