What if your cells could be engineered to grow your own replacement organs? Glimpse the future of medicine with Kristin Baldwin from the Scripps Research Department of Cell Biology as she discusses cutting-edge stem cell technologies. While a postdoc in the lab of Nobel Laureate Dr. Richard Axel, she cloned an entire mouse from a single neuron from its nose, an experiment that paid homage to Woody Allen's film Sleeper.
