[color=#003399]sira: could stem cell therapy renew your body cells?
(beginning at 9:00 pm)join evan snyder, m.d., ph.d., from the burnham institute for medical research, for an intriguing look at the possible therapeutic benefits of neural stem cells (nscs) in various mouse models of central nervous system (cns) injury and degeneration. nscs may respond by migrating to degenerating regions, specifically towards replacement of dying neural cells. in other words, nscs may "attempt" to repopulate and reconstitute ablated regions which may be harnessed for therapeutic ends for those with cns injuries. in addition, nscs may serve as vehicles for gene delivery and appear capable of simultaneous neural cell replacement and gene therapy. presented by the stein institute for research on aging.
