Now this is interesting. A few years ago Acell burst onto the scene and had a lot of people excited about the potential for the “unlimited donor supply”. As I predicted this never happened but what is interesting is the article below. The Pentagon commissioned the University of Pittsburgh to utilize pig bladder cells, more specifically the growth proteins from pig bladder, and use a special “matrix” to regrow muscle tissue. This doesn’t seem too far off from growing hair, at first, but hair is a much more intricate organ and much more difficult to “grow”. Regardless, this technology is extremely similar to that of Acell and it makes sense because Acell has it’s roots at the University of Pittsburgh.
