BBC NEWS | Health | 'New prostate' grown inside mouse: "Scientists have grown new prostate glands in mice, in another advance for stem cell technology.

The team from San Francisco were able to isolate single cells with the ability to generate an entire prostate.

The technique, reported in the journal Nature, could shed light on how prostate tumours develop.

However, any thoughts it could lead to transplants in men who have had the gland removed to beat cancer have been played down."
