About
The Stem Cell initiative aims to bring together all IP scientists interested in stem cell research, from the molecular regulation of pluripotency to lineage progression, tissue and organ formation, the processes leading to physiological tissue homeostasis and its alterations as well as tissue aging, remodeling, and regeneration.
The next edition of the Stem Cell day will focus on recent highlights on these topics from Pasteur teams, and will include two plenary speakers:
- Stéphane Nédélec, who heads a research team at the Institut du Fer à Moulin (Paris), is using human induced pluripotent stem cells, mouse embryonic stem cells and embryology approaches to decipher the complex cross talks of developmental cues that control the specification of neuronal subtypes in the spinal cord, hindbrain and cortex and assess the differential vulnerability of specific neuronal subtypes in diseases such as spinal muscular atrophies.
- Malin Parmar (in visioconference), who heads the Developmental and Regenerative Neurobiology group at the Lund University (Sweden), is focusing on bringing new cell-based therapies for Parkinson’s disease to the clinic by learning how to direct and efficiently drive controlled differentiation of human stem cells into subtype-specific neurons.
