Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have taken the first step toward developing artificial, lab-grown limbs, building a rat forelimb with functioning vascular and muscular tissue.




Now they need to transplant one of these to a volunteer rat.

Now they have to figure out how to keep the body from rejecting it. Easy.

If they are using donor tissue from the one who needs the transplant, will it be rejected?
