Abstract

The call for the meeting which took place in Heidelberg 13 January 2005, resulted in a high number of contributions covering a diversity of topics: embryonal stem cell research; molecular signaling pathways; assay systems for primitive, mesenchymal and epithelial stem cells; markers for transdifferentiation; and theoretical considerations including biomathematical modeling of stem cell development. The program was rounded off by pre-clinical and clinical applications of stem cell therapies, including new mobilization agents, treatment of myocardial infarction and chemoprotective gene transfer to stem cells.
