Anthony Atala's spjutspetslabb odlar mänskliga organ - från muskler till blodkärl till blåsor, med mera. På TEDMED visar han bilder av hur hans bio-ingenjörer jobbar med spejsiga prylar, bland annat en ugnsliknande bioreaktor (sätt på 37.5 C) samt en maskin som "trycker" mänsklig vävnad.

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. Full bio »
