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.
A blood and marrow stem cell transplant replaces a person's abnormal stem cells with healthy ones from another person (a donor). This procedure allows the recipient to get new stem cells that work properly. Stem cells are found in bone marrow, a sponge-like tissue inside the bones. Stem cells develop into the three types of blood cells that the body needs: Red blood cells, which carry oxygen through the body.
