'Advances in stem cell research: development, regeneration and disease', Paris, France
6 April 2011 - 6 April 2011
France
An event entitled 'Advances in stem cell research: development, regeneration and disease' will take place from 6 to 8 April 2011 in Paris, France.
The practical definition of a stem cell is a cell that has the potential to regenerate tissue over a lifetime, and are found in all multicellular organisms. There are two broad types of mammalian stem cells: embryonic stem cells that are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells that are found in adult tissues.
Stem cell biology is progressing rapidly. The unravelling of cell mechanisms is leading to new concepts and strategies for clinical intervention, including disease modeling, drug screening and cell therapy. The conference will bring together research stakeholders, including stem cell biologists grappling with the complexity of cell fate determination, bioimaging and those using stem cells in patients.
The event is co-sponsored by the 'European consortium for systematic stem cell biology' (Eurosystem) project. Funded by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), Eurosystem aims to interlink complementary biological and computational expertise so as to drive the generation of new knowledge on the characteristics of normal and abnormal stem cells. Project participants include universities, small to medium businesses (SMEs) and researchers from the public and private sectors.For further information, please visit: http://www.pasteur.fr/infosci/conf/sb/stemcell2011(opens in new window)
