Stem cells, which can be derived from embryonic cells, but also from
adult human cells, have the remarkable potential to either perpetuate
themselves through self-renewal or differentiate towards specialized cell
lineages. This dual capacity holds enormous potential for medical research
and therapy. "Therefore, nowadays we think of stem cells as the magic
cure for the future, though we are just beginning to attain a comprehensive
understanding of stem cell biology," the organizers of the conference
stated.
In the continuing discourse, however, stem cell research remains a controversial
issue.
The stem cell conference will focus on how lessons from developmental
biology may guide toward biomedical applications of stem cells. In line
with this, recent advances in the basic understanding of stem cell biology
in different model systems and their relevance to mammalian systems and
human diseases will be presented.
