Growing organs from stem cells. Surgeon Paolo Macchiarini, Professor of Regenerative Surgery at Karolinska Institutet is famous for being the first man to grow (and transplant) a fully working human organ using adult stem cells. That was back in 2008 and since then five similar operations have been carried out.
Stem cells can become cells of the blood, heart, bones, skin, muscles, brain etc. There are different sources of stem cells but all types of stem cells have the same capacity to develop into multiple types of cells. Stem cells (center ones) can develop into any cell type. They are valuable as research tools and might, in the future, be used to treat a wide range of diseases.
