IAP 2007 Activity


Stem Cells and Regenerative Biology
Prof. Peter Reddien
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: none

The replacement of missing cells, largely mediated by the action of stem cells, occurs naturally as an integral part of normal adult life and in response to injury. This lecture series will highlight topics in regenerative biology ranging from the biology of stem cells in cell replacement to regenerative tissue engineering
