Man Grows New Nose In His Arm



A businessman who lost his nose to skin cancer is having a new one grown in his arm using stem cells, in a pioneering procedure.

Experts at University College London say the new nose will look exactly the same as the man's original one, and hope it will even have a sense of smell.
The trial marks the first time a full nose has been grown from scratch, and could in future be used as a therapy for patients such as soldiers and car crash victims, the Daily Mail reported.
