Researchers from Tokyo and Kyoto
University managed to turn human stem
cells into cartilage cells and then placed them in tiny tubes shaped like human ears.
Those tubes were later implanted under the
skin of a live rat for about two months.

Human ears to could be ‘grown to order’
within five years, claim Japanese scientists
who have unveiled a rat with an ear on its back
Over the course of time, the plastic
framework dissolved, while the cells grew
into ear-shaped mass of flesh onto the
rodent’s back. According to scientists, a new
technique would require just a small shaped of cells to grow an adult-size replacement
ears.
