New life for Cystic Fibrosis Patients? (Score 1)

Quote :: "The ultimate goal of regenerative therapy, however, is to develop fully functioning bioengineered organs that can replace lost or damaged organs after disease, injury or aging." A question that comes to mind on this issue, is what the feasibility is of using this same technique to grow lungs. Furthermore, to correct the CF gene in the source genetic material prior to the growth. Idea being that new lungs can be grown from the same genetic material of a CF patient, but without having the CF gene, then reimplanted without the need for anti-rejection meds. This could save the lives of a great number of people, and improve the quality of life for many others.
