The 5th International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Annual Meeting, June 2007

Proceedings of German Society for Stem Cell Research - 2010 (PGSSCR) (5th Annual Meeting) Invited speakers – IS1

Heart and vascular endothelial cells from human pluripotent stem cells are of interest for applications in cell therapy and cardiovascular disease. Differentiation protocols are now sufficiently refined that production of cardiomyocytes, endothelial-and smooth muscle cells is fairly efficient and reproducible. Genetically marked hESCs have been produced in which expression of eGFP is ubiquitous...

Safety Pharmacology Society: 5th annual meeting.

This report summarises selected presentations delivered at the Safety Pharmacology Society annual meeting. Organ safety was covered, with cardiac QT liability being discussed most extensively. Of particular interest, was the lecture on beat-to-beat variability of cardiac repolarisation in anesthetised dogs with chronic atrioventricular block. This model, characterised by an electrophisyological...

The 10th Annual Meeting, Iranian Society of Dermatology, Tehran, 16-18 June 2010

Proceedings of the 6th Annual Meeting of the Germany Society for Stem Cell Research

The use of feeder based protocols for the creation, expansion and banking of hES cell lines are well established. The advances in technology for feeder free culture have predominantly relied on the cultivation of pluripotent cells in colony based systems, commonly used in conjunction with ill-defined matrices. We have developed a process to allow enzymatic single cell passaging in a medium in w...

Report of the 89th Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society, TORONTO – JUNE 2-5, 2007

However, the overall approach for ENDO this year will break with recent tradition by moving away from a central meeting theme and offering a broader array of topics for attendees. Among other innovative features of ENDO 07 are: “The Year In” presentations, which will review important articles published over the preceding 12 months; Endocrine Debates, which will offer two sides of compelling sub...
