外科醫師 Anthony Atala 展示了一項未來可能用以解決器官捐贈問題的實驗初期成果：一個使用活細胞輸出可移植腎臟的 3D 印表機。十年前，Atala 醫師的年輕病人 Luke Massella 接受了以類似科技所製造的膀胱移植。今天，他本人亦將會出現在講台上。

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.
