  Oh I wish I had! No, we are a long way off that unfortunately. The ligaments and tendons I grow are only the strength of a chickens tendons and not strong enough to use in humans. We are trying to make them bigger and stronger though, so maybe in a few years I will!
  
  There are other engineered tissues and organs that have made it in patients, not by me though! Things like artificial skin, bladder and windpipe have been transplanted!
