Regeneration of Cells (video)

______, Hobby Town USA, Lee______.

______years ______Lee Spievak ______off the ______of his finger in the ______of a Hobby Shop airplane.

I was ______the wing, and I went______.

What ______next propelled him ______of medicine. Spievak's ______Alan, a______, sent him this special ______and ______him to sprinkle it on the______. And I powdered it on until it was ______. To his ______every bit of his fingertip ______back.

Your ______grew back—flesh, ______, vessels and ______. Four weeks. ______four weeks.______. Is this ______what regrew Mr. Spievak's finger? Yes, it is. We ______this, turned it ______a powdered form.

Dr. Stephen Badylak of the ______of Pittsburgh says that ______, a substance made from pig ______, called extra cellular______, holds some of the secrets ______the emerging new science of ______medicine. It ______the body, "Start that ______of tissue regrowth." Badylak, the ______researcher at Pittsburgh's McGowan Institute for Regenerative______, is one of the many ______who now believe every ______in the body has cells which are ______regeneration. All scientists ______is find ______of those cells and direct them to ______. Somehow the matrix ______the cells and tells them ______.

It first gets them to the ______where they ______to be. But then it helps ______them in terms of ______they need to go, ______they need to______. I become a ______vessel? ______I become a ______, a muscle cell, ______…

If this helps Mr. Spievak's ______regrow, could you grow a whole limb? In ______.

Here you see an ______blood vessel, but there are ______in the science of regeneration that ______go ______theory. You can ______see the vessel ______. In this lab at Wake Forest University, a lab he calls a medical ______. Dr. Anthony Atala is growing ______parts. This is a ______, an engineered heart valve. Atala and his team have built from the cell level up ______different types of tissue ______including muscle tissue, ______organs and the pulsing heart valve of a ______.

And is it ______?

Absolutely, these cells ______to form new heart valve tissue. When people ask me, "______?" We grow tissues and ______.

You really ______body parts.

We are making body parts that we can implant ______into patients. Dr. Atala, one of the ______in regenerative medicine, also ______every type of tissue has cells ______regenerate if only ______can prod them ______.

______that prodding ______science-fiction. You ______heart cells in an ink-jet______.

Yes. ______from this printer is the ______of a mouse. Mouse heart cells ______the ink cartridge and are then ______down in a mouse heart ______layer by ______. Dr. Atala believes it's a ______before someone ______a human heart. The cells have all the genetic ______necessary to ______new tissue. That's what you ______to do. So your heart ______is programmed to make more heart______. Your ______cells are programmed to make ______bladder cells.

Atala's ______with human bladder cells had ______regenerative medicine to a transformational ______. In this clinical ______at Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia Dr. Patrick Shenot is ______a bladder transplant with an organ built from the ______own cells. In a ______developed by Dr. Atala the cells were ______in a lab and then ______on this bladder ______scaffold. ______weeks ______the scaffold now ______with ______of bladder cells ______into the patient. When it ______, Dr Shenot says, ______will be a ______new organ. The cells ______into the two ______cells in the bladder wall: the muscle cells and the ______cells.

They know to do that ______?

They do. Are you ______this is the future?

It's ______the future, but it's______. We're ______this today. Today one of the biggest ______in regeneration is the ______, which is especially interested in the ______that ______Lee Spievak's finger. The army, working ______with the University of Pittsburgh is ______use that matrix on the amputated fingers of ______from the war.

Can we make ______? Can we make ______? Dr. Steven Wolf at the Army Institute of ______says the military has invested ______of ______of dollars in regeneration ______to regrow______, ______muscle, ______skin. You see these ______coming back and it's ______that this guy's ______half his skin this guy's missing ______. You ______the question, "Is there ______there who ______some technology that ______for us?"

You ______"regrow the tissue"?

The answer is "______".

At the Burn Unit here at the Brook Army Medical Center the ______of regeneration ______a glimmer of ______. This arm ______all the skin and muscle. Army staff sergeant Robert Henline was the ______of an IED attack on his Humvee north of Baghdad.

But what do you ______the fact that the army is so ______in that technology?

It's a great idea. If you ______something that is ______and that ______it with natural ______the ______on it. That's ______something I'd______. The race to check into regeneration ______gone ______. This machine being ______sprays a patient's ______cells onto a ______, ______the skin not to form scar but to regrow. You ______this into tube like this. In a ______trial in Argentina Dr. Badylak is about to implant matrix ______shaped like an ______into patients with ______cancer You ______the body to regrow ______of its esophagus. We ______expect this material ______and cause the body to ______normal esophageal tissue.

And at this clinical trial at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center ______Mary Beth Babo ______her own adult ______cells ______her heart. The hope is to grow new ______. Her ______is Dr. Jun Lee. It is actually, if ______, what we would consider the Holy Grail of ______for coronary artery______, the ______because a patient who can regrow a ______artery ______need surgery. …People ______to ______that. That's the good way to go if it ______.

______America ______regeneration will work. ______capital has been ______to commercialize and ______body parts. We are ______building a very real business ______a very real and ______patient ______. Dr. Steven Nichtberger is the ______of the Tengion Cooperation, which ______the license, ______the factory, and is already ______the bladders ______at Wake Forest University we ______earlier. Tangeon believes regeneration will soon ______transplant medicine. Transplant patients ______years for a ______organ will ______cells off to a ______, wait a ______and grow______.

I ______the patients who are on the ______for transplants. I look at the ______we have to ______, to build ______, to build ______. In regenerative medicine I think it is ______the ______industry of the ______. You don't know where it ______. But you know______.
