Adult Stem Cells and Regeneration

In this Howard Hughes Medical Institute video, Nadia Rosenthal, senior scientist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, discusses newly emerging discoveries that may indicate just how flexible adult stem cells may be in their ability to produce divergent cells in the body. Unlike animals such as sea stars, humans have a more limited ability to regenerate parts of the body but newly emerging research may help solve the evolutionary puzzle of why mammals have such limited powers of regeneration.

I'm in Japan studying economics and political philosophy/international relations after having left the biological sciences.... I can't thank you enough or adequately for offering these videos... I feel less homesick and more at home now. Thank you for the relief from the terribly unexciting world of politics (in my opinion). THANK YOU!!

Hi, I mean no offence but in my opinion these science videos based on regeneration, stem cells.. etc.. seems to be always presenting and comparing humans to animal testing, it would be more beneficial if it were more precise in what has been accomplished and evident at this point then to inform others on testings on certain animals capable of regeneration we have been experimenting precisely enough though out the years or even decades. Yet I always try to stay positive although...
