Stem Cells and Progenitors Cells: Biology, Physiology, and
Therapeutic Applications
APS Cardiovascular Section
Keith March
D.J. Prockop, K. March, P. Anversa, L. J. Field and G. Schatteman
The purpose of this symposium is to present the
latest knowledge regarding stem and progenitor cell biology, physiology, and
applications. Keith March M.D., Ph.D and Darwin Prockop, M.D. will lead and
chair the symposium. Dr. Prockop is one pioneers in the area of stem cell
biology (a member of the National Academy of Sciences) and will bring the
summarize recent knowledge about the types of mesenchymal stem cells, and
the potential each type has for differentiation into various somatic cells.
Dr. March is a leading investigator in the area of endothelial progenitor
cells and will discuss the role that these cells play in angiogenesis. Dr.
Pierra Anversa, who has implemented therapies to amplify endogenous stem
cells activity and function, will deliver a talk aimed at showing
transdifferentiation of stem cells into various somatic cell types. And
This symposium will be attractive to all levels of scientists from a variety
of sections, e.g., Cell, Cardiovascular, Renal, as well as scientists from
other member EB Societies, e.g., NAVBO, ASPET, ASIP, MCS, and AAA.
