Molly Stevens: A new way to grow bone

The video explores the evolution of biomaterials, from historical uses like the Mayan nacre shell to modern innovations in regenerative medicine. It highlights Sir Harold Ridley's discovery of PMMA for cataract prevention and the shift from bioinert to bioactive materials. The video discusses advancements in bone regeneration, emphasizing the in vivo bioreactor technique, and explores tissue engineering's role in cardiovascular applications. The importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in developing effective materials is also underscored.
