You are working for a transplant team that is responsible for tissue-typing to determine the compatibility between donor and recipient tissues. What molecules will you be looking at on these tissues? Explain how these molecules are formed and why the likelihood of a perfect match is very low but slightly higher with a sibling. Also include what these molecules do.

Do some research online and find an organ which scientists have attempts to grow in a laboratory or in a surrogate organism. What type of tissue or cells was this organ grown from (i.e. connective tissue, stem cells)? Are there any ethical issues to growing organs for transplant? Have there been any successful transplants for the grown organ you have found? Do you think synthetic organs can pave the way for organ transplants and saving patients' lives?
