TED: Susan Solomon: The promise of research with stem cells - Susan Solomon (2012)




TED Talks Daily (SD video) show

Summary: Calling them "our bodies' own repair kits," Susan Solomon advocates research using lab-grown stem cells. By growing individual pluripotent stem cell lines, her team creates testbeds that could accelerate research into curing diseases -- and perhaps lead to individualized treatment, targeted not just to a particular disease but a particular person.
