Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre's Institute for Regenerative Medicine in North Carolina have managed to grow vaginas in the lab to help women born without them. In this photo, cells from the patient's body are cultured on a matrix and wrapped around a tube to mimic the vaginal opening. After the culturing process is done, the resulting 'tube' of living cells is implanted into the patient's body. – Reuters
