His team engineered the first lab-grown organ to be implanted into a human &#8212; a bladder &#8212; and is developing experimental fabrication technology that can &quot;print&quot; human tissue on demand. In 2007, Atala and a team of Harvard University researchers showed that stem cells can be harvested from the amniotic fluid of pregnant women. This and other breakthroughs in the development of smart bio-materials and tissue fabrication technology promises to revolutionize the practice of medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;Anthony Atala bakes things that will make you feel good inside, but we&#39;re not talking cakes and muffins.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>PBS<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/anthony_atala_printing_a_human_kidney.html\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n\tSurgeon Anthony Atala demonstrates an early-stage experiment that could someday solve the organ-donor problem: a 3D printer that uses living cells to output a transplantable kidney.
