A couple of lab kooks have harvested lipoid stem cells from human fat and made them act like smooth muscle cells. This is step one in rejection-proof transplant organ development.
Long story short: In the future it may be possible to harvest the average American’s disgustingly fat belly, strain it like spaghetti, and make him or her a new kidney after he or she has ruined the perfectly good ones they were born with due to their type 2 diabetes.
Good God.
