That was something I was curious about too, regenerating organs requiring vascular structure. It's my understanding that the windpipe, being cartilagenous, is largely exempt from the necessity of regular, abundant blood flow. It seems it would be fairly impossible to regenerate an organ requiring erythrocyte pathways to match exactly.

I want to add more to this discussion, but I have some things to do...I will be back later....Sorry about the link.....
