STEM CELLS AND REGENERATIVE BIOLOGY

First talk in the series

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.
