Hirurg Entoni Atala demonstrira eksperiment, koji je još uvek u početnoj fazi i koji bi mogao jednog dana da reši problem doniranja organa. U pitanju je 3D štampač koji koristi žive ćelije za proizvodnju bubrega za transplataciju. 
Koristeći sličnu tehnologiju, pacijent doktora Atale, Luk Masela je dobio veštački napravljenu bešiku pre 10 godina; njega upoznajemo na bini.

Entoni Atala (Anthony Atala) : Štampanje ljudskog bubrega

A global shortage of transplantable organs is endangering thousands as patient needs far outweigh donations. Advances in regenerative medicine now make it possible to grow tissues and even print living kidneys using a patient's own cells. In one remarkable example, a young man received a lab-engineered bladder and returned to an active, healthy life. New technologies like cell-based scaffolds, tissue printing, and stem cell therapies are poised to transform how medicine addresses organ failure.
