SCRB 170 - Heart Stem Cell Therapeutics: A Case Study for Regenerative Medicine

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Heart stem cell therapeutics is a paradigm for regenerative medicine. Multipotent "master" heart progenitors are revolutionizing our understanding of human cardiogenesis and its relationship to disease. Issues such as delivery, grafting, survival, rejection, scalability, tissue engineering, unwanted side effects, and imaging have all arisen when considering cell transplantation therapies. This course will examine the prospects and problems of heart stem cell therapeutics from multiple perspectives, e.g., scientific, medical, philanthropic, drug discovery/safety, governmental, ethical, and financial.
