Harnessing the body's ability to repair itself, regenerative biology is advancing medicine each day. Our bodies contain stem cells that have the remarkable ability to transform into many different kinds of cells and act as tiny "handymen" to repair damaged tissues. At this April 24, 2012, seminar, faculty members share their expertise and explain how this field of study may dramatically shape the future of medicine.
