WASHINGTON, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Methuselah Foundation, which co-sponsored the Vascular Tissue Challenge with NASA, today announced the award-winning researchers achieved scientific breakthroughs that promise to dramatically change the future of human health.
This brings us closer to the day when medicine can regenerate organs to improve lifespan and quality of life for people
The first- and second-place Challenge winners announced by NASA today are the first scientific teams to engineer and sustain thick functioning human tissue in a lab. The Challenge, first conceived by Methuselah Foundation in 2013, was conducted to increase the pace of bioengineering innovations to benefit humans on Earth and future space explorers.
The successful teams achieved the first step toward routinely growing human organs to replace those damaged by disease or trauma. Researchers can build on these achievements to eventually 3D print edible meats, human tissues and, ultimately, replacement human organs.

Elon Musk Claims His Mysterious Cyborg Dragon Tesla Is “Almost Done”
We're not quite sure what to make of this one.

Even for a CEO who’s given to cryptic social media posts, Elon Musk’s pronouncement that, “btw”, he was working on a cyborg dragon was met with some confusion. Was he talking about the Dragon Capsule, which shuttles cargo to the International Space Station? Some sort of “not a flame thrower”-esque side project? Something else entirely?
SpaceX and Tesla fans got an update over the weekend, with Musk Tweeting that the “Cyborg Dragon Tesla” was almost done. Careful observers will note that the original post made no mention of Tesla, giving speculators an extra beat of detail as to what the hell Musk is actually talking about.
