Researchers Grow Human Lung In A Lab

Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have successfully grown a human lung in a laboratory. This is the first time such an accomplishment has been achieved.According to a report published by CNN, the lungs were grown using tissue from the lungs of two children who had died from trauma, most likely a car accident. Although these lungs had been too damaged to use in a transplant, they still had some healthy tissue.
