This is awsome news.
There's going to be a market for healthy pig hearts! Healthy hearts which can give us healthy scaffolds. Much, much better than waiting for the much-rarer transplant donor.

I posted the wrong article didn't I? Sorry folks I can't find the original article from yesterday. But Derek has posted a similar one. Thanks Derek. It was using rats and pigs in experimantal stages but plans to use a person very own stem cells when making the hearts for patients.
