Differentiation, reprogramming and regeneration |
|
The recent major breakthroughs in stem cell biology are likely to have fundamentally important implications for how we will study complex human diseases in the future. This conference will bring together experts working in different experimental systems on issues of differentiation and regeneration. Other topics include the potential of adult and embryonic stem cells for tissue regeneration and nuclear reprogramming approaches that are capable of transforming one cell type into another. |
