Stem cells in reproductive medicine
Course-coordinators: C. Simon (E) and A. Veiga (E)
Course description: Human embryonic stem cell lines are promising tools not only for regenerative medicine but also in reproductive medicine and for research in germ line formation and early human development. Provocative new data suggest that stem cell populations, in the gonads, endometrium and placenta, could have a major impact on our understanding of human reproduction in health and disease. The purpose of this course is to update clinicians and embryologists about recent advances in embryonic and somatic stem cell technology with particular emphasis in reproductive medicine. The course will provide insight into the possible generation of gametes from embryonic stem cells, as well as to explore the potential of the endometrial and placenta progenitor stem cell population. Participants will discuss the new clinical, ethical and legal implications of stem cells for reproductive medicine.
Target audience: Clinicians and Scientists working in the field of human reproduction. Clinicians and Scientists interested in getting updated information about progress made in the field of stem cells.
