"Several years after receiving new bladders engineered entirely in a laboratory, seven young patients are all still healthy.


It marks the first long-term success of total-organ tissue regeneration, an area of medicine that until now was more the stuff of science fiction than clinical reality. "

Note to self: Move "organ regeneration" from TL 10 to TL 9.

Wow!! Just wow!!

This is stem cell research. Not embryonic stem cell research but stem cell research just the same. No ethical dilemnas, autologous use of cells and no rejection issues. Wonderful research.

With luck, within a few years, organ donation will be a thing of the past.

Pro-life Ping!!! The ultimate victory of adult stem-cells over embryonic stem-cells may be very near!

Nope. And, I use the original Traveller tech level system, not that yards-pounds-gallons abomination used by GURPS (though I have stolen stuff wholesale from the latter). It's not Traveller if it's not in metrics...
