Neo-organ

In tissue engineering, neo-organ is a final structure of procedure based on transplantation of constructs consisting of endogenous stem/progenitor cells grown ex vivo within predesigned matrix scaffolds.[1] The scaffold eventually is resorbed, leaving transplanted cells and the stroma that they produce in the body.
