  For his portrait, Anthony Atala plastered images of cells all over the CUBE's inner walls, treating the box itself as on organ he's coaxing to life.
  
  Anthony Atala, M.D., is among the world's foremost researchers in the areas of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.As the director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Atala was behind the 2006 announcement of the first successful transplant to human recipients of organs grown in the lab,bladders that were transplanted to young patients beginning in 1999.His current work focuses on growing new human cells, tissues, and organs to repair or replace tissues or organs damaged by age, cancer, trauma, or abnormal development.He is working to replicate kidneys, pancreases, and other organs.
  
  In an important finding in the field of stem-cell therapy, Atala and other researchers reported in January 2007 that they had found stem cells in amniotic fluid.

  Anthony Atala, head of Wake Forest's regenerative medicine institute, and colleagues recently announced they had found embryonic-like stem cells in amniotic fluid -- the liquid surrounding fetuses in the womb -- using a procedure that does not require destroying embryos.

  "These cells are easier to get, and from acceptable medical procedures [for example, amniocentesis] that are done on a routine basis," said study senior author Dr. Anthony Atala, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
  ...
  "These cells could be harvested, grown outside the body and used," Atala said.
  
  Unlike "true" stem cells, however, these cells were predestined to grow into only one type of cell, or a limited type of other cells.
  
  "We wanted to see if there was a true stem cell population within this fluid, pluripotent stem cells which could give rise to multiple cell types," Atala explained.Pluripotent cells are capable of differentiating into many different types of cells.
  
  After seven years of digging, Atala's team found that 1 percent of the amniotic fluid cells were pluripotent.The newly discovered cells seem to possess characteristics that rest halfway between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.Like other stem cells, they can self-renew and double in number every 36 hours.But unlike other stem cells, they do not produce tumors.
  
  The stem cells could be harvested any time from the beginning of pregnancy until just after a baby is born, Atala said.
  ...
  Theoretically speaking, Atala said, a bank of 100,000 specimens could potentially supply 99 percent of the U.S. population with a perfect genetic match for transplantation.
  
  But human studies haven't even begun yet.
  
  "We don't know what the extent of therapy will be with these cells," Atala said.

  At the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Anthony Atala makes organs. He grows them on scaffolds. He prints them out of ink-jet printers. Then he implants them. It's the organ-donor system of the future, in which a patient can have a new bladder, kidney, or heart created in a lab and implanted within weeks--not months or years or never. Atala has already conducted successful trials on patients who have lived healthily since 1999 with engineered bladders and is at work on new trials. In the slides that follow, how to make a kidney.
