Wasn't something like this done in Germany some years back as well?

The technology is getting increasingly refined, bladders developed in vitro are already in clinical trials from what I know, but the really unique thing about this is that if you put cells into predefined patterns, they go on to form organs, which really pisses over all arguments of "irreducibly compex" organs and also goes on to demonstrate how body morphogenesis and organisation is in fact the output of a developmental program of cellular genes.
