The future of regenerative medicine | Clemens van Blitterswijk | TEDxMaastricht

Clemens van Blitterswijk doesn’t get weighed down with scientific jargon and details. He connects with the audience by using charisma and analogies to explain to us the future of regenerative medicine. Blitterswijk is a renowned name in the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field due to his unique multidisciplinary approach. He is one of the most frequently cited Dutch scientists in Materials Sciences, the applicant and co-appli¬cant of over 100 patents and has co-founded multiple biomedical companies. Today, he combines his Professorship at Maastricht University with a Founding Partnership of the new LSP-Health Economics Fund (LSP-HEF) of the European healthcare investment group Life Sciences Partners (LSP). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Regenerative medicine is only expensive today because we still don't know much about the topic. Much like computers back in the day, fewer resources, more expensive. If we manage to get regenerative medicine mainstream, it might go on a similar path with computers.

As someone with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I desperately want this. But disability = poverty, and I can't imagine ever affording such an incredible prospect.

[@justwannabehappy6735]

Don't despair. Even aids therapy seemed to bee reserved for the rich back in the day. And nowadays it is accessible to the general public. At least in my country.

Dear TH-cam, please highlight these videos instead of that useless bunch of nothingness you usually try to show me, thank you.

Amazing! Promising!

Something that is spectacular
Something cool

I think more and more people already embracing regenerative medicine, and Switzerland pioneered it. Now millions of people are already enjoying the preventive benefit of cell therapy at a lower cost. check it out "celergen" oral marine cell therapy and take charge of your health.

You say preventative , I’ve been bed ridden from a 3 level fusion surgery that made me worse …. Do you think this would help me , don’t really want to be here anymore 😞

Tough crowd.. sheesh

neuro link will be the solution, organ repair, tissue engendering is expensive and it will eventually disappear once we have full bionic and mechanical organs

Grüß Di, gutes Video! Danke!! ;)
zufällig schon mal dieses Wasserstoff Trinkwasser aus einem Hydrogen Rich Water Generator jemals getrunken?
Dieses Wasser ist richtig fresh! :D
Ich trinke es vor allem nachdem Laufen . ☘

He's asking for money.

[@numalesoybea1348]

Throwing money at research is pointless if the people doing the research don't have a clue what to do it.

[@numalesoybea1348]

@@crunchybee they don't know what they're doing. That's why stem cells haven't produced a single cure, and their application will be very limited.

[@justwannabehappy6735]

Name me one breakthrough that was made with no money

[@justwannabehappy6735]

@@numalesoybea1348 ... Isn't the point of research to eventually know how to do something ?

Most useless TED talk in history.
