Video on Regenerative Medicine

Posted on July 31, 2015
Regenerative medicine engineers cells to heal themselves. It could help treat previously untreatable conditions by repairing or replacing tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or congenital defects. See this cutting-edge technology in action in this video from our Health Care team’s recent review of federal investment in regenerative medicine. To learn more about the federal agencies investing in regenerative medicine, their coordination, and challenges in advancing this evolving field, check out our full report. Warning: The video contains some graphic content that some viewers may find disturbing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=12&v=Pj8d9K9-ewk&rel=0
About Watchblog

GAO's mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. GAO launched its WatchBlog in January, 2014, as part of its continuing effort to reach its audiences—Congress and the American people—where they are currently looking for information.

The blog format allows GAO to provide a little more context about its work than it can offer on its other social media platforms. Posts will tie GAO work to current events and the news; show how GAO’s work is affecting agencies or legislation; highlight reports, testimonies, and issue areas where GAO does work; and provide information about GAO itself, among other things.

Please send any feedback on GAO's WatchBlog to blog@gao.gov.
