Menstrual Blood Stem Cells Video
Briganti, C. 2010. Mademoicelle Design Process Video. The Mademoicelle video was produced by Parsons School of Design Alumna Chelsea Briganti, who, after attending the New York Stem Cell Foundation Annual Translational Medicine Conference, decided to center her senior thesis project on menstrual blood stem cells to both support public banking and to challenge how people traditionally view menstrual blood.

This collection of video and text resources reviews menstrual blood stem cell research. The second video is conducted by a young reporter “The Resident” who interviews people on the street regarding their views on menstrual stem cell research. The remaining blog posts and review article by Rowland provide a rich overview of the research on the heterogenous population of cells found in menstrual blood and their range of regenerative and differentiation potential. The news articles highlight issues of quantity, sterility, access, diversity, and therapeutic potential.
