Can we build personalized organ models to predict how you react to medicine?
In short: Standard treatments often fail because every human body reacts differently to drugs. This video explores how tissue engineering might solve this unpredictability through highly personalized medicine.
Nina Tandon explores a potential solution to the unpredictability of medical treatments: using pluripotent stem cells to create personalized organ models. By growing these models on computer chips, scientists could test new drugs and treatments on a patient's own biological material before administering them to the patient.
