Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine: a branch of translational research in tissue engineering and molecular biology which deals with the process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function. This field holds the promise of engineering damaged tissues and organs by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to functionally heal previously irreparable tissues or organs. Some of the biomedical approaches within the field of regenerative medicine may involve the use of stem cells.
The isolation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and the discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) reprogramming have sparked a renaissance in stem cell biology, in vitro di...

Therapies that activate the host immune system have shown tremendous promise for a wide variety of solid tumors. However, in most cancer types, fewer than half of patients respond to these th...
Pluripotent stem cells can reproduce indefinitely and develop into any cell type in the body. We are putting pluripotent stem cells to use, for a neuron replacement therapy for Parkinso...
My talk shall encompass how the stem cell research field has evolved from embryonic stem cells to adult stem cells and currently induced pluripotent stem cells with special reference to the f...

The availability of well-characterised monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) detecting cell-surface epitopes on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides useful research tools to investigate the c...
Therapeutic application of pluripotent stem (PS) cell-derived products represents the ultimate goal of stem cell research. In order to apply this technology to patients, it is fundamental to ...
