Doris Taylor: Recellularized Human Hearts May be Weeks Away
Dr. Doris Taylor, the researcher whose team successfully engineered a live, beating rat heart via the technique of decellularisation and reseeding, has announced progress towards repeating the process with human tissue. Press reports based on Dr. Taylor’s presentation at the American College of Cardiology’s 60th Annual Scientific Session indicate that the hearts are growing well and are expected to begin beating within the next few weeks.
