Bladder in a Dish saves Patients
How's that for an article title? Basically, they've been able to grow bladders for people who have bladder cancer and things. This is a huge deal. They've never really been able to grow complex organs like this before (the liver doesn't count, as it regenerates naturally). That article doesn't say so, but another from Yahoo!News mentions that these bladders were grown from cells harvested from the patients themselves. Who needs clones?!
