I was waiting for this video to be uploaded and it was from the TED Conference a couple weeks ago in Long Beach, California. If you read here often enough then you know I follow Wake Forest and other regenerative stories frequently. One 
company in particular where I have interviewed many of their executives, Cook Medical has a full regenerative medicine division and they focus on hernias and a different type of regeneration, but it all works. The link below was from just a few days ago from Wake Forest and has Dr. Atala’s TED talk from last year (video).
