Awesome - "Woman receives windpipe built from her stem cells."

Good thing our government stopped such research. Because, you know, it made the baby Jesus sad.

Woman receives windpipe built from her stem cells - health - 19 November 2008 - New Scientist:
"A Colombian woman has become the world's first recipient of windpipe tissue constructed from a combination of donated tissue and her own cells.

Stem cells harvested from the woman's bone marrow were used to populate a stripped-down section of windpipe received from a donor, which was then transplanted into her body in June."
