An international symposium exploring the frontiers of neural stem cells, from the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF. The symposium will highlight recent progress in the neural stem cell field, as well as prospects for clinical applications. Four scientific sessions will cover themes related to the origin of neural stem cells, the role of stem and progenitor cells in building and repairing the brain, mechanisms for creating neurons and glial cells, and stem cell models of neurological disease. An important component of this meeting will be the understanding and development of new treatments for neurological diseases including Parkinson’s disease, spinal muscular atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis, among others.
