Fascinating Improvements in TIssue Reconstruction


Anthony Atala of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine shows the work of "seven hundred researchers over a period of twenty years," and where that has gotten the institute and the state of tissue regeneration. This video is incredible. My favorite part:

"(As you watch an inkjet printer shoot back and forth) This is actually one of our strategies. We use a printer. And instead of using ink -- you just saw an inkjet cartridge --we just use cells. This is actually your typical desktop printer... it's actually printing a two chamber heart one layer at a time."
