The Colombian mother had such trouble breathing that she was often unable to play with her children or climb stairs. Her left bronchus was narrowing dangerously and some sort of surgery was needed. That’s where Professor Paolo Macchiarini in Barcelona and Professor Martin Birchall in Bristol stepped in. Previous work with pigs had shown that an organ could be stripped down using enzymes and other chemicals. This would leave the organ as nothing but a scaffold. Stem cells could be applied to this scaffold and encouraged to regrow the organ. Singularity hub has discussed similar work done with rat and pig hearts.
