There was also news that bone marrow cells can be used to replace/grow nerve 
cells in the brain
http://news.bbc.co.uk/low/english/sci/tech/newsid_1049000/1049478.stm


Also the liver can be made to work outside the body which could remove the need 
for transplants (the liver can repair itself given time)

All of which makes human longevity more within reach than before
