Course Description
This course aims to introduce students to stem cell biology and research; the different types, characteristics and functions of stem cells (embryonic, adult, cord blood and amniotic and induced pluripotent stem cells), stem cell generation, regulation and differentiation in vitro and in vivo and how induced pluripotent stem cells are derived and used for research. Experimental systems to be studied include human stem cells as well as mouse, zebrafish, and Drosophila model systems. Furthermore, there will be an emphasis on how stem cells can be used to repair organ and tissue damage such as paralyses and burns. In addition, treatment of a vast array of diseases like diabetes, cancers, Parkinson's, dementia, neuropathies, congenital hearing loss, cystic fibrosis and cardiovascular diseases will be covered.
