Bioscience:Secrets of the Sequence（28）
Waiting for an organ transplant is desperate and anguished time for patients and their families. More than 5，800 died while waiting last year alone. But what if patients didn't have to wait for organs? What if researchers could create organs and tissues out of cells at will， as needed? What if they could grow a new heart muscle for a failing heart. A new liver or a new kidney， turns out these efforts may no longer be in the realm of "what ifs". Researchers have succeeded in their first experimental attempts. It's called tissue engineering.
