Scientists' ability to grow human hearts in laboratories could lead the way in creating body parts for transplants.

American researchers said the artificial organs grown in a lab could start beating in a matter of weeks.

"The experiment is a major step towards the first 'grow-your-own' heart, and could pave the way for livers, lungs or kidneys to be made to order," The Daily Mail reported.

"The organs were created by removing muscle cells from donor organs to leave behind tough hearts of connective tissue.

"Researchers then injected stem cells, which multiplied and grew around the structure, eventually turning into healthy heart cells."

Dr Doris Taylor, an expert in regenerative medicine at the University of Minnesota, said there were many hurdles to overcome to generate a fully functioning heart.

"My prediction is that it may one day be possible to grow entire organs for transplant," she said.
