That's the same Charles Lindbergh who
actually
spent the rest of his life working with Alexis at the Rockefeller Institute in New York in the area of the culture of organs.
But if I were to point to three challenges, the first one is
actually
the design of materials that could go in your body and do well over time.
So we can
actually
use biomaterials now.
This is
actually
a biomaterial.
This is
actually
like a cotton candy machine.
This is
actually
a patient who [was] presented with a deceased organ, and we then created one of these smart biomaterials, and then we then used that smart biomaterial to replace and repair that patient's structure.
What we did was we
actually
used the biomaterial as a bridge so that the cells in the organ could walk on that bridge, if you will, and help to bridge the gap to regenerate that tissue.
These are
actually
cells that we obtained.
So that's
actually
now in patients.
This is
actually
a heart valve that we've engineered, and you can see here, we have the structure of the heart valve and we've seeded that with cells, and then we exercise it.
Another technology that we have used in patients
actually
involves bladders.
For these specific patients, we
actually
just suture these materials.
We use three-dimensional imagining analysis, but we
actually
created these biomaterials by hand.
As you know, a lot of organs are
actually
discarded, not used.
So we
actually
perfuse first the blood vessel tree with the patient's own blood vessel cells, and we then infiltrate the parenchyma with the liver cells.
Another technology that we've used is
actually
that of printing.
This is
actually
a desktop inkjet printer, but instead of using ink, we're using cells.
And you can
actually
see here the printhead going through and printing this structure, and it takes about 40 minutes to print this structure.
And there's a 3D elevator that then
actually
goes down one layer at a time each time the printhead goes through.
And this is
actually
a piece of bone that I'm going to show you in this slide that was
actually
created with this desktop printer and implanted as you see here.
This particular printer we're designing now is
actually
one where we print right on the patient.
Because in reality, what you want to do is you
actually
want to have the patient on the bed with the wound, and you have a scanner, basically like a flatbed scanner.
You see a scanner technology that first scans the wound on the patient and then it comes back with the printheads
actually
printing the layers that you require on the patients themselves.
This is how it
actually
works.
And now you're going to see here a demo of this
actually
being done in a representative wound.
And we
actually
do this with a gel so that you can lift the gel material.
And this is
actually
new technology still under development.
I don't know if you realize this, but 90 percent of the patients on the transplant list are
actually
waiting for a kidney.
We then are able to
actually
image those, do 360 degree rotation to analyze the kidney in its full volumetric characteristics, and we then are able to
actually
take this information and then scan this in a printing computerized form.
So we go layer by layer through the organ, analyzing each layer as we go through the organ, and we then are able to send that information, as you see here, through the computer and
actually
design the organ for the patient.
