What’s Next For Organ Transplant

The Number of People On The Organ Donor Waiting List Is Increasing Quickly

While The Number Of Organ Donors Is Increasing Very Little Slowly

It’s estimated that 35% of deaths in the US are preventable with organ

transplantation

Enter Regenerative Medicine

Organs Custom Tailored For You

Your Own Cells

The technology leverages your body’s own cells to

manufacture organs

and this solves another problem…..

Since the solution uses your own cells you don’t have to take immunosuppressants

The Best News…..

The technology exists

Two Years Ago

A kidney generated in a lab was successfully

transplanted into a rat

So When’s Will This Be Available?

Unfortunately, The technology has not been perfected nor

attempted on humans

But, it’s only a matter of time
