Regenerative Medicine
- What is Regenerative Medicine?
The next frontier is regenerative medicine. Growing human body parts, essentially from scratch.It’s already happening. Skin. Bladder. More or less “printed” out, layer by layer, with cells blown through an inkjet printer. The great hope is creating and replacing body parts on demand. The U.S. military is all over it. Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine and chair of the urology department at the School of Medicine at Wake Forest University. He led the first team ever to implant a laboratory-grown organ into a human, a bladder, in 2006. - Oprah Winfrey and Dr Oz discuss the future of Regenerative Medicine – https://youtu.be/v-Q2kghHwq4
