In this photo issued by Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine and taken in April 2014, Yuanyuan Zhang, M.D., Ph.D, assistant professor at the Institute, demonstrates the process to engineer a vaginal organ in a laboratory in Winston Salem, N.C. Scientists report in two separate studies they have made vaginas and part of the nose, providing more evidence that growing organs in the laboratory is possible. Researchers have previously made windpipes, bladders, tear ducts and other organs in the lab. The two latest papers were published online Friday April 11, 2014 in the journal, Lancet.

In this photo taken on Saturday, March 29, 2014, medical personnel at the emergency entrance of a hospital receive suspected Ebola virus patients in Conakry, Guinea. Senegal has closed its land border with neighboring Guinea to prevent the spread of the Ebola outbreak, which has killed at least 70 people. Senegal's Interior Ministry announced the border closure Saturday. It also said officials in the southern region of Kolda closed a weekly market which draws thousands of people from the neighboring West African countries of Guinea, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. Guinea confirmed last week that several victims of hemorrhagic fever in the country's southern region had tested positive for Ebola. (AP Photo/ Youssouf Bah)
