Human organs are being designed and grown in laboratories using biopolymer scaffolds and matrices, as a result of the astonishing developments in tissue engineering and regenerative therapies. But the next step, implantation of the new organs into humans, may be hindered by basic problems of vascular access. This, at least, is what a new report from Technical Insights concludes.
Analyst Katherine Austin at the US market research company said that such basic problems will have to be resolved before doctors will accept such implants as standard treatment methods. She notes that when a matrix ...
