New Tissue "Grown Within Minutes"

UK scientists say they can cut the time it takes to grow new tissue from days to minutes. The lengthy process can be accelerated by simply removing the water present in the starting material, the University College London team discovered. Following such shrinkage by a factor of at least 100, tissues could be created in 35 minutes. This speed may one day allow doctors to make tissue implants at the bedside, Advanced Functional Materials reports.
