If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr. Maria Jimenez-Sanchez. A Pint of Knowledge is a series of informal research seminars in the pub where members of the society of Spanish Researchers in the UK (SRUK) explain their research to a general audience. It takes place every 2 months and is open to the general public. Stem cell research has become very popular in the last decade. Stem cell researchers are often in the news either by claiming new and promising cell therapies for several and incurable diseases, or by declaring new controversies about the potential of these cells. But what kind of stem cells are there and what is the true potential achieved so far in regenerative medicine? How valuable are they as tools for research and therapy? And what are the advantages and limitations of different types of stem cells for different uses? In this seminar we will describe the different types of stem cells. We will talk about the differences between embryonic stem cells (ESC), induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPS) and adult or tissue stem cells. And we will show you how stem cells are used as research tools as well as their potential applications in regenerative medicine. This talk is part of the Spanish Researchers in UK (SRUK)-Cambridge series. This talk is included in these lists:
