Submission + - Beating heart created in lab (scienceblog.com)

Sunday Scientist writes: Minnesota researchers have created a beating heart in the laboratory. In a process called whole organ decellularization, they grew functioning heart tissue by using dead rat and pig hearts as a sort of flesh matrix, and reseeding them with a mixture of live cells. The result: Lub-dub, lubdub, lubdub... The goal is to grow replacement parts for people born with defective tickers or experiencing heart failure.
