What does it take to regrow bone in mass quantities? Typical bone regeneration -- wherein bone is taken from a patient’s hip and grafted onto damaged bone elsewhere in the body -- is limited and can cause great pain just a few years after operation. In an informative talk, Molly Stevens introduces a new stem cell application that harnesses bone’s innate ability to regenerate and produces vast quantities of bone tissue painlessly.

Molly Stevens: A new way to grow bone

A new way to grow bone

Harnessing bone's natural regenerative power, a new method generates vast amounts of bone tissue without painful grafts.

Innovative in vivo bioreactor approach creates bone on demand, minimizing patient discomfort compared to traditional methods.

Beyond bone, the technique is adapted for cartilage regeneration, showcasing the method's versatility in tissue engineering.
