Molly Stevens: A new way to grow bone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- 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.

Day by day, the medical science is advancing so much. And this bone regeneration is one such example and it's really exciting. It really gives hope to millions of people who are undergoing enormous pain due to accident and other bone-related ailments. Molly Stevens brings hope to those people. Highly recommended talk for everyone.
Yes and no. For the foreseeable future you'll be screwed if you need a doctor or even surgery (for *serious* stuff). Yes they advance - in tiny, tiny steps, and the real issues, anything you suffer from after 40/50, is not treatable. Let's not even talk cancer., "survival rates" may rise - but it is a HORRIBLE life even if you survive (both cancer and treatment), always fearing when/if it will grow again, and next time it will be worse! It's all a kludge and quality of life goes down, no doctor can help. Stroke, heart attack etc. for example - the tissue is gone, period, doctors only do damage control.
You should also know that all those great advances they keep talking about, small as they are, are only available to very few patients. Most of daily medical care is 10-30 years behind "the current state of the art". The good news is if you are persistent and try to connect and inform yourself you don't need to be rich to get the latest treatments, the (top) experts (even!) are surprisingly accessible, a friend of mine found out (I guess with the disclaimer "if you sound sane and reasonable").
The only thing that may really help in the end is if they manage to stop the aging process so that the past 40s/50s issues never arise in the first place. Also, stem cells - i.e. cells that divide - introduce new potential for cancer, which can only come from such cells. There's a reason not all cells in a body keep their ability to divide past a certain stage in an individuals development, but only those who absolutely need it. And who needs such a therapy the most? Those who are older, and with age have worse immune system protection against cancer. A two.edged sword if ever there was one. As I said, when you need any of those treatments you are already screwed, better not to need it in the first place.
Technology like this makes me want to be hopeful, but I feel that humanity will suffer forever as long as the current corrupt government and pharmaceutical system is in place.
At some stage, the modern technology will also find out the method to ease our pains. We have to be hopeful otherwise, we can't enter the enterprising future
nickm2137 Yet pretty much all our wondrous modern technology is exclusively a product of the "corrupt" modern systems you are so quick to dismiss.
@@MikeBenko I guarantee you, drug companies put profit before helping people
I hope in near future there will be a easy way to grow taller? I fucking hate to be short :(
Molly Stevens is an incredibly inspirational speaker. If you would like to see her speak in person, she will be at the 16th European Congress on Biotechnology in Edinburgh, 13 - 16 July 2014. Visit our website for more details.
Fascinating talk. Medicine and science never ceases to amaze me. Keep up these sorts of videos, TED. And to all the researchers and developers, just keep doing what you love :)
It seems only football players disliked this video.
this vid needs more views. awesome stuff.
9:39 I hope those footballers had a lot of cold water to apply to the burns. :D
Regrowing bones? Outside of Hogwarts? Sounds really outrageous!
When she says " painful" . .... well , doctor , I'd rather stay 5ft3 .
This is my favorite talk
I'll show her the way I grow MY bone
bastard…
Slap Stick Are you an archeologist
Fascinating
This lady found a new way to grow my bone
I really hope to make this technology. I have TMD ..in my case this disease so i curable these days....I was treated using splint device ..but nothing was chaned to me..bone regeneration must develop..!
Look into the fundamental role of Vit D3 and K2, magnesium, boron in growing bones, plus weight bearing exercise stimulating the osteoblasts to grow bone.
Look up and research hard on TMD natural cure.. Someone out there has already cured every disease, it just takes some digging to find the information.
Can this make people taller?
I wonder if this works for teeth as well.
Damn, she straight up roasted those football players
I hate to be "that guy" but who else read that title and immediately thought of those "increase your size!" spam E-mails?
Amazing. In growing bone in the jaws for implant surgery.
i want the ability to regrow teeth infinitely
Now we can grow our height to... hmm interesting.
Can I grow taller with this? 🤞
Talk talk talk
Here's another idea, Molly, Take your shirt off. My bone will grow, I swear.
darth how to grow bone brother ?
Awww, come on give them thicker skulls! Could fund your research!
Beautiful. Interesting. Privilege.
Wait the peroistum grows back, does that mean the stems cells regrow???
New drinking game: watch this video, and do a shot every time she says something that sounds dirty but isn't.
One shot for the title.
Bluetooth hehe
if you know what I'm SAYIN
I wonder if u can grow a artificial human body with it... well im sure in the future it will like in anime those human clones and artificial humans called chemicaloids (anime name toaru kagaku no railgun s)
Aside bone medula transplantation, the only precise indication for Stem Cells therapeutics, is in great burns . Indeed the curative one. yet no other . Sorry.
Regenerative medicine is awesome.
Yellow bone haha
Nice talk but I did not like her condescending remark about the American footballers wanting a double thickness skull. I think it’s a great idea and would want that if I played a sport that would put me at risk of brain damage.
I still prefer looking at sexy pictures. :P
