Scientists have created a nanostructure which can multiply stem cells used in therapies - a first step towards developing large-scale stem cell culture factories.

i wonder how much more quickly artificial hearts will come around because of this. It'd be good to know for me as my dad had a heart transplant a few years back. No rejection worries with this though.

Isn't science 20 years away from growing hearts?

20 years is a bit pessimistic. We've already grown a trachea.

And we're working on heart. Actually I'd say it's more like 5 years.
