MED BEDS TECHNOLOGIES: The Promise of HUMAN REGENERATION FOREVER YOUNG
MED BEDS TECHNOLOGIES: The Promise of HUMAN REGENERATION FOREVER YOUNG
SYNOPSIS: From lab-grown organs to tissue engineering, regenerative medicine holds the potential to deliver eternal life. How close are we to this new future of human health? Developmental biologists, biomedical engineers, regenerative scientists, and physicians for a riveting exploration of the current and future state of regenerative medicine. PARTICIPANTS: Dany Spencer Adams, Stephen Badylak, Jonathan Butcher, Doris Taylor MODERATOR: Emily Senay Original program date: JUNE 1, 2017 WATCH THE TRAILER: https://youtu.be/XeqkytBCaKU WATCH THE LIVE Q&A: https://youtu.be/e0vKOYQUmgg FULL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Synthetic blood mass-produced to meet supply shortages. Livers and kidneys “bioprinted” on demand. Missing fingers and toes re-grown with a jolt of bioelectricity. Regenerative medicine promises to do more than just treat disease, injuries, or congenital conditions. It holds the potential to rejuvenate, heal, or completely replace damaged tissue and organs. If successful, regenerative medicine will have immense impact on how we care for the injured, sick, and aging — and how we think about death. This program will explore mind-boggling medical advances as well as the societal and economic implications of a future in which everybody may truly be forever young.
