I'm just guessing but I feel that ATIS's work with organs started from specific organ tissue probably from infant cadavers. It's one thing to grow organ tissue and quite another to grow a complete organ. Much closer is organ assist devices such as a device made from liver tissue to filter blood, circulated by mechanical pumps, to take the load off of the patients own liver and allow it time to heal or maybe regenerate after a transplant or the use of stem cells. These type of devices have actually been used on patients on an experimental basis.
