Abstract
Reported recently in Lancet, Macchiarini and colleagues (2008) implanted a living tissue-engineered airway in a female patient. The restoration of the patient's quality of life testifies to this successful translation of benchtop to bedside studies and provides promise for the application of regenerative medicine strategies to other clinical disorders.
