SciShow: Why Scientists Are Using Mice to Make Human Cells

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Stem cells are widely believed to hold great promise in medical research because of their ability to transform into all sorts of other cell types, and scientists can grow it in living mice.
