Researchers Successfully Put Bioengineered Lungs Into Pigs

Ah, to live in a world where we can crank out custom-made organs to meet supply. No need for donors or years-long waiting lists. We're still a ways off from that organ utopia, but we're at least a little closer to bioengineered lungs becoming a reality. On Wednesday, researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch published a paper announcing they'd successfully transplanted artificially grown lungs into four adult pigs without any complications.
