With unprecedented and exclusive access to current clinical trials, this program appraises the successes and future potential of regenerative medicine. One featured patient is Joy Veron—paralyzed while trying to save her children from a car accident—who has stem cells from her nose transplanted into her back. The film also follows a heart attack victim who has his own bone marrow stem cells injected into his heart. Do these landmark treatments represent the start of a great revolution in medical technology? Carlos Lima, of the Egas Moniz Hospital in Lisbon, and the University of Frankfurt's Andreas Zeiher are featured. (57 minutes, color)
