http://www.ted.com Eva Vertes is a Princeton
student recognized as a teenager for her research
on Alzheimer's, and now embarking on a career
focused on new ways of thinking about cancer. In
this talk, she explains her theory that stem cells
- seeking to initiate repairs in the body - may
actually be the root of cancer. So cancer may, in
fact, be the body's own repair system gone awry.
