Description: What if we could help our bodies heal faster and without scars, like Wolverine in X-Men? TED Fellow Kaitlyn Sadtler is working to make this dream a reality by developing new biomaterials that could change how our immune system responds to injuries. In this quick talk, she shows the different ways these products could help the body regenerate.

How we could teach our bodies to heal faster

New biomaterials might change how our immune system responds to injuries, potentially outpacing salamander regeneration.

Harnessing immune cells & biomaterials could lead to scar-free healing, mimicking regenerative abilities like those in salamanders.

Exploring how specific immune responses can guide stem cells to regenerate muscle, not fat, opening doors to advanced medical treatments.
