Ah, Rats

Great news for rats, scientists have made rat kidneys in a test tube.  These kidneys function like real kidneys and even look the same.  That is thanks to fancy science stuff that allows the kidney cells to grow within a frame work of the rat kidney.  Basically its like stripping your home down to the studs and remodeling from there.  This all meaning that there will come a day when there will be no more expensive rat kidney dialysis procedures.  Next on the agenda duck liver (except for in California) and pig brains.  Science is fun.
