Innovation in biological sciences and the development of human stem cells have revolutionized todays medical treatment. Research on stem cell repair offers new hope and possibility of a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat a myriad of diseases and conditions including Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, burns, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Thus, stem cells research presents new and exciting opportunities for future medical treatments. The SCR conference aims to serve as a catalyst to inspire stem cell research around the world by providing an informative session for academics, researchers and experienced professionals to share their research findings and leading discoveries on the potential of such new treatment as well as the risks involved. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Modeling stem cells, Population dynamics of human ES cells: self renewal, adaptation and cancer, Human embryonic stem cells and human genetic disorders, Induced pluripotent stem cells and research into aging, Extrinsic Factors Regulating Stem, Intrinsic Factors Regulating Stem Cell Behaviour, Proliferation and Differentiation of Adult Stem, Tumor Stem Cells, Pluripotency and Stem Cell Plasticity, Regenerative Strategies, Asymmetric cell division, Using iPS cells for studying neurodegeneration, Nuclear reprogramming, Stem cell-niche interactions.
