A much softer, less dense and pink lung was regenerated from a stripped down skeleton lung all done in a research lab at the University of Texas Medical Branch. This medical innovation can potentially pave the way for many medical opportunities. Tiffany Satoorian, a professor at CSUSB who teaches stem cell biology said, “Being able to engineer these organs and tissues in the laboratory would reduce the need for human donors.” Not only can engineered lungs help those in need of a lung transplant, they can be used to … [Read more...] about First human lung artificially created
