Scientists say the finding brings them closer to growing entire organs in the lab, including eyes that could replace those damaged by injury or disease. (sciencemag.org)
Researchers will see their achievement as a major step towards growing entire organs for transplant. (news.bbc.co.uk)
But researchers are working on a new technique to help bridge that gap: microchips that simulate the activities and mechanics of entire organs and organ systems. (scientificamerican.com)
