One reason for that is that most countries' medical regulations don't yet open an easy path to such procedures, which remain experimental. The team of scientists plans to engineer a hybrid larynx as their next project, which may take a few years, according to stem-cell specialist Professor Anthony Hollander of the University of Bristol.
