The Rainbow of Heroes Walk Commemoration and celebration of all Duke Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant (PBMT) patients and their families. Celebrating 10 Years of hESC Cell Lines   Ten years ago this November, a paper was published that led to an explosion in the field of stem cell research. In November 1998, Dr. James Thomson's laboratory reported the first derivation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines from human blastocysts (Science 1998;282:1145-1147). To celebrate this landmark discovery, and to look forward to the future of stem cell research, Stem Cells has begun an interview series titled "Celebrating 10 Years of hESC Cell Lines".  STEM CELLS is presenting interviews reflecting on the lives and achievements of some of the premiere scientists in the field of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine.   The series continues with "An Interview with Ariff Bongso". The Introductory Editorial to this series from Dr. Miodrag Stojkovic, Co-Editor of Stem Cells, in the November issue of STEM CELLS.      Interview with Dr. Bongso in the February issue of STEM CELLS.   Additional excerpts from our interview with Dr. Bongso on the Stem Cells Portal.

Discussion Forum IFATS 08 - Top Abstracts IFATS - Meeting Summary IFATS - Top Abstracts from the 2008 Annual Meeting in Toulouse, France Job Listings    Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Jobs Job Description The migratory itinerary of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been model after trafficking of hematopoietic stem cells into tissues.  However, recent reports have suggested key differences between the migration signals of these two stem cells.  Our work focuses on the underlying mechanism of how MSCs home to cancerous tissue and whether MSCs can be develop into a platform for the delivering of therapeutic agents/viral vectors into cancerous cells effectively.  In addition, we are also keen in dissecting the signaling cues between MSCs and cancerous cells in the tumor microenvironment and whether the presence of MSCs could enrich for the recruitment of endothelial progenitor cells. continued...

IFATS 2009 is focused on the clinical application of Adult Stem cells and the use of a person's own cells to Repair, Restore, and Regenerate our Health. IFATS 2009 will be held at the Hotel Inter-Burgo in Daegu, Korea, October 15-17, 2009. We believe that IFATS 09 will meet your expectations with rewarding scientific, social and cultural experiences and showcase strategies to Cell Therapies of the Future. The agenda will reflect the dynamic nature of the field as we move from fundamental stem cell research towards clinical therapies. With a multidisciplinary range of speakers the meeting, co-located with the World Biobanking Summit, truly encompasses "bench to bedside" stem cell research.   ESF-FWF Conference in Partnership with LFUI The Impact of the Environment on Innate Immunity:  The Threat of Diseases 22-27 April 2007 Contact Us/Add Your Resources and Announcements Our aim is to bring together a network of stem cell researchers, resources, and information, to encourage and stimulate research.
