What if we could help our bodies heal faster and without scars, like Wolverine in X-Men? TED Fellow Kaitlyn Sadtler is working to make this dream a reality by developing new biomaterials that could change how our immune system responds to injuries. In this quick talk, she shows the different ways these products could help the body regenerate.

just take a bath full of ice, like in the movie
after I stopped wearing warm things in fall and winter and doing regular ice cold showers my immune system strengthend alot, heck I wasn’t even once ill since 2015
+nikidino8 wow, i can’t imagine take a shower in the winter without heating the water up at all, must be very hard
@I love Clem
Actually I start with a warm shower, because cleaning yourself from shampoo with cold water is terrible, and go all the way down until I reached the maximum coldness possible. At this point I control my breath to be slowly (important) and deep and after a while I just stop.
Rarely I also switch from max cold to max hot very rapidily, it’s very very hard to control the breath while doing this and if I stop at hot/warm, it kills my sleep
Thats actually really really helpfull for all types of injuries( but wounds) I am a tae kwon do athlete and I everyday have icetherapy
Just buy a new body
I keep killing people but I never seem to fit into one
Trans humanism is not yet possible
r/woosh
Too expensive
Doctor Strange already taught us how to already
Hiruko ty
*looks at Lizardman from amazing Spider-Man 2*
Hmm
No, Spiderman 2 was Doc Oc.
+kokofan50 I meant the amazing one
Could this possibly lead to cancer?
Lead to cancer or use cancer to heal?
I’m pretty sure I remember it can from my Biology class
+Minori Kushieda only if cells start growing randomly instead of as told to do so.
GamePlayRaja Oh okay
Sucks how we can’t heal with love like Baymax does. +1 like for a Baymax hug!
Our bodies are going to need ORMUS (orbitally rearranged monoatomic elements )and Scalar Energy Right? It’s because your talking about working to achieve the healing yet you don’t ever say how.
Just eat other people and aquire their life force.
Silence!
Boy if I had a nickel for every time somebody says they’ve found a cure for something and it turns out to be bullshit I’d be rich enough to find actual cures for everything.
I call bullshit
Progress happens in incremental steps. Sure this one researcher isn’t going to change the world, but her contributions along with researchers after her will probably make a significant difference in our lives.
Maybe, possibly in the lives of generations from now, but not in our generation.
This is incredible. The fact that these kinds of things are possible and that there are people working on it is fascinating. I wish her the best of luck in her project and hope that stuff like this is accesible to us in the near future
Without live video mechanism of the immune cell within microscope this entire video remains pointless.
Arent the same blood cells responsible for scar tissue also used to stop the bleeding in the first place? I doubt you can just trick the body this easily and have no repercussions.
The shoes seem uncomfortable *yes so distracted
ilove2929 , not for a Praying Mantis. LOL
Yeah I was waiting for her to topple over lol
Find a way to regenerate teeth then you’ll get my attention.
The rest of the body looks after itself, be it slow but it still does. Teeth however don’t, not efficiently enough anyway.
IM working on a cell I found and MY test might help to regenerate. IM doing the work to test if the cell I found could really work.
I also thought it’s a bit strange how she almost only refers to herself when it comes to the work but apparently works in a team of researchers.
^^^same
Yeah, that really bothered me as well. Usually researchers from teams always say “We”.
You raise a very valid concern & I had to make an account to respond, because as a speaker saying “I” is difficult, as research is 100% done in teams. We were instructed to speak in I/I’m, which is the *only* reason it was worded that way, original drafts had “we”. I hope this clarified why it was worded in that manner, I’ve cited the original work done by the teams on the TED page.
so nothing i can do at home..
Eat well. Sleep well. Live well.
