Sounds like a promising development.

Not knowing anything about biology here but that is literally just a pipe? Surely they could make it out of a suitable synthetic (ie plastic) just like they do heart valves?

Nah: 'It is lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium cells with mucosae goblet cells which produce mucus. This mucus lines the cells of the trachea to trap inhaled foreign particles which the cilia then waft upwards towards their larynx and then the pharynx where it can then be swallowed into the stomach.' It's complicated according to wiki :p

71 isnt that old, thanks for your kind words. Would you like to tell my Grandma that you piece of ****.

If I knew where you lived I would remove your organs while you are still alive.

I think that any age past 40 is too old.

Plus, anyone over the age of 40 is automatically a paedophille and cannot be trusted.

Can you still get stem cells from an adult though? I thought they had to come from babies or some such.

This is correct. There is a small section chromosones which contain information that actually ages. Its a very wierd concept but means that stem cells and the like usually have to be from a young thing.

sorry, I was perhaps a little over the top but just because this is a forum doesn't mean you can be an ass.

If a relative of yours over 30 had died recently and someone said "people used to die at 30" I can't see it going down very well in real life so why accept it on a forum.

I think you took what he said the wrong way, he was being analytical tbh.
Although saying that, you do have to be sensitive when talking about death as it is a subject that can cause people to become overcome with emotions. People are less likely to interpret things well when they're being overly emotional, or discussing something like that.
 
Haven't they done this before with Bladder transplants grown in the labs in the states? Good news regardless but I don't think it's as ground breaking as it's made out to be.
