The course provides students with detailed information on the fundamentals of stem cell biology, different types of stem cells (i.e. embryonic, fetal, adult and inducible pluripotent stem cells) and their clinical applications. Properties of stem cells (i.e. multi-potency, differentiation and so on) are outlined. In this course, different types of stem cells; their sources, properties and applications in regenerative medicine will be described. Interactions between stem cells and their environment (i.e. niches) are emphasized. Current research in the field of stem cell therapy is highlighted. The advantages and disadvantages of the current stem cell therapy is outlined.
