Custom-made hearts could one day replace transplants, thanks to a team of Australian scientists and surgeons headed by the Bernard O'Brien Institute of Microsurgery. Researchers have successfully grown new heart tissue that beats on its own by implanting cardiac cells and blood vessels into a chamber in the body, where they grow to fill the space.
Scientist previously have created only two-dimensional constructions such as skin, but the team says the development is the first step to creating new organs to replace diseased and injured body parts. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, with almost 80% of such deaths worldwide now occurring in Asia.
