TED-Ed: Your body vs. implants - Kaitlyn Sadtler

Insulin pumps aid millions with diabetes by monitoring blood sugar and delivering insulin. However, they and other implants face challenges due to the body's immune response, which treats them as foreign objects. This response can lead to scarring and complications. Researchers are developing ways to mitigate these issues by using coatings and natural materials to make implants less detectable by the immune system. These advancements could lead to revolutionary medical treatments and artificial organs.

What are some methods researchers are exploring to help the immune system accept implants?

In what ways could future treatments involving implants revolutionize medicine?
