VIDEO -- Build Your own Organs Have you heard of tissue engineering? Its the idea of using plastic scaffolding to build organs, tissues, or bones. Although for the moment we can only make skin and corneas, Rober Langer, professor in biomedical engineering at MIT, thinks that the next steps is growing entire organs using plastic support, and then letting the support disintegrate to leave a natural organ behind. We could even create smart tissues and organs, which would warn you if something goes wrong, and help avoid strokes and heart attacks. iHeart, anyone?
