11. Neurogenesis from Neural Stem Cells, Ependymal Cells and Fibroblasts
Abstract : Stroke is a major cause of death and disability around the world. Stroke leads to loss of neurons and also other cells in the brain due to lack of blood supply. Currently no therapies are available to treat stroke-related disability. It has been shown that stroke leads to increased neurogenesis, birth of new neurons, within the brain. READ MORE

12. Derivation, Characterization and Differentiation of Feeder-Free Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Abstract : Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent cells with self-renewal ability, derived from the inner cell mass of a human blastocyst. They have the remarkable potential to develop into different cell types and can thus be used to regenerate and restore damaged tissues and organs in the entire body. READ MORE

13. Modelling Human Developmental Hematopoiesis. Towards in vitro Generation of Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Abstract : The possibility to manufacture hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the laboratory would provide an indefinite source of cells for patients requiring bone marrow transplantation. Moreover, combined with the progress in gene editing techniques, it would provide a novel platform for gene and cell replacement therapies for a range of currently incurable congenic and acquired disorders.

14. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors controlling the differentiation of human midbrain progenitor cells
Abstract : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor deficits. Levodopa treatment provides marked symptomatic relief. However, within 5-10 years after the start of Levodopa treatment, most PD patients display a gradual loss of drug efficacy. READ MORE

15. Human articular chondrocytes. Plasticity and differentiation potentials
Abstract : Articular cartilage has no or very low ability for self-repair and untreated lesions may lead tothe development of Osteoarthritis (OA). One method, which has been proved to result in longterm repair of isolated lesions, is autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT). READ MORE
