After four days investigators noted some contractions in the rat hearts. Voas jessica berman reports the research reported by the journal nature medicine is laying the groundwork for the transplant of what the scientists are calling bio artificial organs in humans. Taylor says bio artificial hearts for humans could be made from pig organs because the hearts are about the same size. Pig valves are already used to replace diseased heart valves in humans.
The next step is to use the procedure on a pig heart to see if it will work in a larger heart. So over time the human cells would replace that matrix and you would essentially have an equivalent of a human heart.
