Swedish doctors successfully implanted a lab-made, synthetic windpipe in a 36-year-old man who suffered from tracheal cancer on Thursday. The procedure was the first success of its kind.

the actual organ was made in the royal free hospital, so i do hope it will give some hope for cancer sufferers being treated on the nhs.
