Planarian Regeneration and Stem Cells

A mini-documentary discussing the remarkable regenerative capabilities of the planarian, and how HHMI researcher Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado uses them to study the biology of stem cells.

Cultured Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Cell cultures derived from human embryonic stem cells can reproduce indefinitely and also differentiate into specialized cell types, including beating heart cells. Also featured on the DVD Potent Biology: Stem Cells, Cloning, and Regeneration, available free from HHMI. Order DVD here.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Video

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is performed looking through a microscope and using small glass pipettes to handle human eggs and to remove and transfer nuclei from one cell to another. SCNT is used to produce clones of cells with the same genetic background as the donor nucleus.

DNA Gene Chip Explanation

Dr. Melton describes the process used to extract DNA from a cell and to analyze it on a gene chip. Also featured on the DVD Potent Biology: Stem Cells, Cloning, and Regeneration, available free from HHMI. Order DVD here.

Antlers and Mammalian Regeneration

Dr. Rosenthal describes how antlers are one of the few examples of complete mammalian regeneration. Also featured on the DVD Potent Biology: Stem Cells, Cloning, and Regeneration, available free from HHMI. Order DVD here.

Heart Attack and Blocked Arteries

Dr. Rosenthal uses a model of a heart and an artery to describe how blockages lead to heart attack and tissue damage. Also featured on the DVD Potent Biology: Stem Cells, Cloning, and Regeneration, available free from HHMI. Order DVD here.
