Regenerative

Scientists at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine are working on 3D bio printed human organs.

Love arouses regenerative energies in us.

Anthony Atala is director of the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Atala says polycystic ovary disease is also commonly seen in older, pre-menopausal women.

Scientists talked about the future of regenerative medicine, which combines the body’s ability to heal itself with progress in biomedical engineering.

Dr. James Stannard, developed this procedure with James Cook, a veterinarian who heads a regenerative orthopaedics laboratory and is director of operations and research at the university’s BioJoint Center. Stannard is chair of orthopaedic surgery at the university’s School of Medicine. The technique replaces a patient’s damaged cartilage with healthy donor cartilage.

Michael Longaker, a professor of surgery and co-director of the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford, helped make the discovery and co-authored a study on the topic, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
