Yes i met Dr. Shipley and his crew at Mass Gen......Read Cynthias corner on the main page. His trials only include T2 Stage 2.
As for bladder replacement......they're actually growing bladders but if its from a diseased bladder it probably wouldn't be a great idea.(mice are now getting these) Pig bladders maybe?..Cow bladders..hmmmm. my sister in law has a cow valve in her heart. Who knows maybe its viable. If we don't reject it in the heart maybe we wouldn't reject it as a bladder.......oh but wait a minute..you've got to hook it up and wouldn't that be the same as a neo-bladder with the same problems?
Ya got me! Pat
