Extraordinary!

And not just hearts:

The process, called whole organ recellularization, can be done "with virtually any organ," Taylor says.

Researchers create a new heart in the lab

Someday, doctors may routinely extract cells from heart failure patients and use them to reseed a new organ from a cadaver-derived ECM. What types of cells those would be isn't known yet.

What we are looking at is heart replacement with a NEW heart from your own cells.  No rejection medicine required.  Gimme new lungs too, oh and how about kidneys!

Wow!
