Natasha, 

I went off to search ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and whatever else 
Google has picked up in the last two or three years on this research 
(but not yet Scholar). There's a surprisingly large lack of organ 
cloning research going on.

However, I do have some links on cloning topics in general, perhaps some 
cross-references over on PubMed Central can help track things down:
