2019 • E117    Oct 17, 2019    5m
There are currently hundreds of thousands of people on transplant lists, waiting for critical organs like kidneys, hearts and livers that could save their lives.

Taneka Jones explores bioprinting, a new branch of regenerative medicine. [Directed by Hype CG, narrated by Addison Anderson].
