2011 SYMPOSIUM
DATE: HELD April 27, 2011
LOCATION: BioPharmaceutical Technology Center, Madison, WI
COORDINATORS: University of Wisconsin Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center;
BioPharmaceutical Technology Center Institute
OVERVIEW: Coordinated by the University of Wisconsin Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center and BTC Institute, this symposium brought together world leaders in the area of cellular reprogramming. The focus was on using intracellular or extracellular cues to manipulate gene regulation and control stem cell pluripotency and lineage-specific differentiation.
TOPICS:
- How can we understand and manipulate gene regulation to control stem cell self-renewal and lineage-specific differentiation?
- What are the signaling mechanisms that are shared among multiple stem cell types?
- What are the key mechanisms by which natural stem cell niches influence phenotype?
- Can components of natural stem cell niches be effectively mimicked to control stem cell phenotype?
- How can somatic cells be reprogrammed to pluripotent phenotype using intracellular or extracellular cues?
