  • Why hasn’t there been news of progress in the ‘organ skeleton’ technique where they denude a donor organ of all cells other than its collagen frame, then re-seed it with good stem cells for the same organ tissue from the same person? (I saw an article about doing this with hearts; no idea if all major organs have such a scaffolding which could be used…)

    There were articles a few years ago about this promising technique – it could enable new organs without all of the issues of rejection if it could be perfected.

    Imagine if everyone (not just the rich) could get healthy core organ cells taken in their youth, banked, and then used later if required to re-grow a failing organ.
