00:04Stem cells are what our body uses to produce all other specialized cells but scientists are finding
00:09they're good for so much more than that in fact in the past they found they're able to heal spinal
00:13cord injuries and they're even looking at regenerative medicine and now a new study
00:17outlines how stem cells may be used to regrow bones and you're never going to believe how
00:21they're doing it using stem cells derived from a patient's own fat they were able to guide the
00:26cells into becoming bone but they increased the speed at which that bone grew by playing high
00:30frequency sound waves for the stem cells for 10 minutes every day which leslie yo one of the
00:35chemical engineers working on the study said about the findings quote we can use the sound waves to
00:39apply just the right amount of pressure in the right places to the stem cells to trigger the change
00:44process a process which researchers say could be used to regrow bone tissue that may have been lost
00:48to cancer but even further in the future it could be at least part of the process of regrowing a
00:53limb
00:54a limb all together
