New vaginas
Scans of the pelvic region were used to design a tube like 3D-scaffold for each patient
On a slightly different note, four women have had new vaginas grown for them in the laboratory.
A biodegradable tubular scaffold was designed to be the right size and shape for each woman.
A small biopsy from the poorly developed vulva in each woman was used to grow a large batch of cells in the laboratory.
Muscle cells were attached to the outside of the scaffold and vaginal-lining cells to the inside.
All women reported normal levels of "desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction" after the vaginas were implanted.
In two of the women, the vagina was connected to the uterus giving them a chance of becoming pregnant.
