At this year’s TEDMED we saw a fascinating lecture by Dr. Anthony Atala of Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM). His presentation focused on groundbreaking work of the institute to develop artificial tissues which one day might allow replacement of failing organs and severed limbs. Now Gizmodo, in its series This Cyborg Life, has published a quick overview of what WFIRM is up to, including videos and an interview with Dr. Atala.
