A team of scientists and surgeons at a Melbourne hospital has developed a method of growing new organs within a patient’s body.

Previously, scientists had only been able to create two-dimensional constructions such as skin.

The cells have been grown in a plastic chamber under the patients’ skin.

“We have developed a special chamber and this is essentially an empty box into which we implant a blood vessel using microsurgery techniques,” lead researcher Professor Wayne Morrison said.

“We let them grow according to the specific environment that we can create
