Science of the Winter Olympic Games: Injury and Recovery

Synthetic scaffolding can be used to regenerate biological tissue, such as muscle, tendons, and ligaments. When perfected, this biotechnological feat will help many injured athletes recover more quickly. Dr.Cato Laurencin explains the new developments in reconstruction. You could show this video in a biology class when learning about bioengineering, or in an engineering class to inspire learners to enter the field.
