"PENISES grown in laboratories could soon be ready for human testing after encouraging studies on rabbits, in a breakthrough for men with congenital abnormalities or traumatic injuries.
Researchers at North Carolinas Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine are assessing engineered penises for safety, function and durability, and hope to get approval for human testing within five years.
The organ would be grown using a patients own cells to minimise the risk of rejection.
Professor Anthony Atala oversaw the institutes successful engineering of penises for rabbits in 2008 and said human organ transplantation was on the horizon."
