About this talk :
Surgeon Anthony Atala demonstrates an early-stage experiment that could someday solve the organ-donor problem: a 3D printer that uses living cells to output a transplantable kidney. Using similar technology, Dr. Atala's young patient Luke Massella received an engineered bladder 10 years ago; we meet him onstage.
About Anthony Atala
Anthony Atala asks, "Can we grow organs instead of transplanting them?" His lab at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is doing just that -- engineering over 30 tissues and whole organs.

  • @divinegod123456 I know this was a while ago, but I can tell you're joking.

  • Kristian: What about lungs, can we grow lungs?

  • Whoever made the rude comments you show a lack of intelligence! This technology can help people that need it! You can be one of those that just dies then when you need a organ! Science is a greater understanding and allows us to not be bound by simplicity and ignorance!

  • @peechumachu go print a dick, so you can call yourself a man!

  • @divinegod123456 Take your garbage and exit the universe!

  • @peechumachu What have you done for the progress of human race? Your comments only qualify you as a fucktard, who doesn't understand anything about life! You don't have to print your babies, send your wife over and I'll be happy to help you!

  • @divinegod123456 What you are is a divine jackass. I should like to see you take your garbage and exit this universe. Thank you!

  • @divinegod123456 Fucking Moron! It is because of you that the human race is being pulled back!

  • divinegod = divinedouchebag

  • @kontekzt really? What are you a scientist?? You are yourself a bullshit, that's why these things excite you! Do you even understand what science is? What is your education?
