Welcome to the 3rd Disputationes on Native and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Standardization
March 19–21, 2012, Florence, Italy
On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Workshop “Native and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Standardization” to be held in Florence, Italy, on March 19-21, 2012, it is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the Event. This Workshop has been organized in view of the potential exploitation of the embryonic stem cell and, above all, iPS technology by industry and clinical medicine.
The failure so far experienced in applying stem cell technology to repair parenchymal organs can be ascribed to the lack of sufficient knowledge on basic mechanisms, but also to the absence of standardized criteria and protocols. Very often, each laboratory follows its own “recipe”, using arbitrary nomenclature and non comparable, if not confusing, experimental protocols. All this makes it difficult to learn from the others and, ultimately, hampers the progression of knowledge on stem cell behavior and applicability.... More
