Tissue engineering has been used to construct and successfully transplant functioning esophagi — a breakthrough that stands to advance regenerative medicine as well as stem cell research. The lab-grown organs were transplanted into rats, where they displayed regeneration of nerves, muscle, epithelial cells, and blood vessels, senior author Dr. Paolo Macchiarini said in a press release. The new method built on previous research on so-called tissue engineering — a groundbreaking feat of regenerative medicine that has been used in several innovative lab procedures over the past few years. medicaldaily/esophagus-grown-and-transplanted-tissue-engineering-regenerative-medicine-breakthrough-276886
