"A research team at the University of Strathclyde has developed a new
technique that could help patients waiting for a liver transplant. The
researchers have worked out how to store living cells in a device capable of
being attached to the body to do the job of damaged tissue."

Pancreatic replacement or augmentation is also considered a possible
application.
