Stem cells can thrive in segments of well-vascularised tissue temporarily removed from laboratory animals, say researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Once the cells have nestled into the tissue's nooks and crannies, the so-called 'bioscaffold' can then be seamlessly reconnected to the animal's circulatory system...
