Making organs
a team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( mit ), usa , has reported a new material that could be used to make synthetic organs for transplants. This is great news for medical science as there are several times more people who need organs than those who donate. Some 20,000 people die in the us due to lack of an organ transplant. Synthetic materials tried in the past have not been very successful.
The problem with synthetic organs is that the material used to make them is nothing like the tissue of the human body
