Synopsis

In spite of intensive investments and investigations carried out in the last decade, many aspects of the stem cell physiology, technology and regulation remain to be fully defined. After the enthusiasm that characterized the first decade of the discovery that when given the right cue, stem cells could repair all the different tissues in the body; it is now time to start a serious and coordinated action to define how to govern the stem cell potential and to exploit it for clinical applications. This can be achieved only with shared research programs involving investigators from all over the world and making the results available to all. The Disputationes Workshop series (http: //disputationes.info) is an international initiative aimed at disseminating stem cell related cutting edge knowledge among scientists, healthcare workers, students and policy makers. The present book gathers together some of the ideas discussed during the third and fourth Disputationes Workshops held in Florence (Italy) and Aalborg (Denmark), respectively. The aim of this book is to preserve those ideas in order to contribute to the general discussion on organ repair and to bolster a fundamental scientific and technological leap forwards the treatment of otherwise incurable diseases.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Mayuri Prasad is currently a post doctorate fellow in the Haematological Research Laboratory (HRL) that was established in 2007 and is part of Department of Haematology at Aalborg University Hospital in Denmark. She has done her PhD from the Laboratory for Stem Cell Research, Department of Health Science and Technology, Aalborg University. Major field of interest include embryonic stem cell proliferation and differentiation in hypoxia, ion channels involved in mesenchymal stem cell proliferation in hypoxia, in vitro dose response studies aimed at the stratification of patients with B cell malignancies. Dr. Paolo Di Nardo, after his in Medicine and Cardiology, expanded his knowledge in basic and applied sciences in different Italian and foreign laboratories. At present, he has teaching appointments at the Medical School and at the Department of Biology of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Furthermore, he is Vice-Head of the Cardio-respiratory Clinic of the same University. Scientific advisor of major international organizations and member of international scientific societies, he has founded the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Cardiology and is Scientific Director of the Centre of Space Bio-Medicine of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. He has also founded the Japanese-Italian Tissue Engineering Laboratory (JITEL) at the Tokyo Women's Medical University and the Canadian-Italian Tissue Engineering Laboratory (CITEL) at Winnipeg (Manitoba). Co-founder of the Italian Society of Cardiovascular Research and of the (Italian) National Institute for Cardiovascular Research. Member of international scientific societies, he is author of several papers published in peer-reviewed international scientific journals. Among others, in 1994, he organized the first international Congress in which the possibility of heart regeneration in mammalians has been analyzed. Since then, his major interests have been in cardiac pathophysiology, myocardial effects of omega-3 fatty acids and stem cell and tissue engineering technology.
