Wired News: Jacket Grows From Living Tissue

From Boingboing.net, but I found this quote even more amazing:

Wired News: Jacket Grows From Living Tissue:
"'The interesting thing about cell lines is that in most cases once a cell line has been developed there is much more of that than the original organism from which it was taken,' said Catts. 'For example, the 3T3 mouse cells which are very common in scientific research centers around the globe can be weighed in tons or even tens of tons and they all came from one mouse in the 1970s.'"
