Veti Gel and Its Medical Applications

The video discusses a breakthrough invention by NYU student Joe Landolina called Veti-Gel, which can instantly stop bleeding and heal wounds. Veti-Gel mimics the body's extracellular matrix (ECM) to trigger natural healing processes. It is made using genetically modified plant ECM, allowing it to be stored at various temperatures without refrigeration. Currently being tested in hospitals, Veti-Gel shows promising results in healing severe injuries. Its potential applications include use in hospitals, battlefields, and by individuals with clotting disorders.
