Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Jul 9, 2011
http://www.ted.com Tissue engineer and TED Fellow Nina Tandon is growing artificial hearts and bones. To do that, she needs new ways of caring for artificially grown cells -- techniques she's developed by the simple but powerful method of copying their natural environments.
