A team of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators have made the first steps towards development of bioartificial replacement limbs suitable for transplantation. In their report the researchers describe using an experimental approach previously used to build bioartificial organs to engineer rat forelimbs with functioning vascular and muscle tissue. The data findings also provided evidence that the same approach could be applied to the limbs of … Continue reading Researchers successfully bioengineer whole forelimb, transplant and reanimate it in animal model.
