There's a vast amount of work being done on organ regeneration.
Just do a google search

"The experimental animal is unique among mammals in its ability to regrow
its heart, toes, joints and tail. SCIENTISTS have created a "miracle mouse"
that can regenerate amputated limbs or badly damaged organs, making it able
to recover from injuries that would kill or permanently disable normal
animals.


The researchers have also found that when cells from the test mouse are
injected into ordinary mice, they too acquire the ability to regenerate."
