Course Content
Stem cell biology is a fast-developing scientific discipline. Based on substantial fundamental aspects, this emerging cell biology field is associated with highly popular applied features. Growing attention is devoted in recent years toward studies on stem cell biology in model organisms (mainly mammalians), including stem cell differentiation and gene expression in selective vertebrates. These studies, in addition to their inherent interest in the general biological phenomenon of stem cells, are motivated by the rationale that stem cells might serve in fighting against human diseases, or in regenerating damaged organs in humans.
