[via Slashdot] Reuters reports some surgeons just cultured stem cells recolected from the fat sucked out of a liposuction and succesfully grew skeletal, muscular and nerve tissue.

«We need to prove that transformation of cells from one type to another is irreversible»

Well I imagine some sort of sudden reversion process were the tissue goes fluffy and fatty all over again!! :)
