Perhaps I’m not understanding the situation clearly, because this could actually could be what is taking place in the new study. I sure would like to get away from the human cadaver model if possible, and this new study doesn’t seem to be consistant with a genetic match with the donor, but I can’t be certain.

A person could get a temporary mechanical heart while they harvest and stimulate the growth of that person's own stem cells to proliferate prior to reinjection. Anti-rejection drugs, immunosuppressants, wouldn't be needed, IMHO.

I know with the ear example on the mouse, you’re right about those immunodepresents. I’m not sure about the cadaver model, and that’s my concern. You could very well be right.

It is amazing what they can do these days for sure.
