'Spider style' blood vessel building



A way of building body parts similar to the way a spider spins its web has been demonstrated by researchers in the UK.
The team at University College London used a constant stream of cells mixed with a polymer to weave the new tissues.
They think the technique could produce better results than other ways of building body parts for transplant.

The idea is that a patch of heart muscle could improve function after a heart attack.
