First Bladders Grown in Lab Transplanted

First Bladders Grown in Lab Transplanted: "Researchers said yesterday that they have grown complete urinary bladders in a laboratory and transplanted them into patients, improving their health and achieving a Holy Grail of medicine: the first cultivation of working replacements for failing solid organs in people."

I'm not sure more needs to be said about this except, "Hell yeah." I'm very excited to see where med tech goes in the next twenty years before various organs of mine start to fail. Selfishly excited, in fact. I'd also like to hear an update on something neat happening with nanotech but I'm worried that will be for the next generation, and not mine...
