A better way to harvest bone marrow: Daniel Kraft on TED.com
The stem cells found in bone marrow are one of the most valuable resources your body produces (they can help treat terminal diseases such as Alzheimer's and leukemia), but normally the process of retrieving that marrow is a many-injection procedure that takes time, money ... and pain. Physician and innovator Daniel Kraft has revolutionized this process with his minimally-invasive Marrow Miner, which requires only one puncture and accumulates ten times as much marrow compared to the old manner. (Recorded at TED2009, February 2009 in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 4:14)
