The Role of the Stem Cell in Repair

Faculty: Jeffrey M. Davidson, PhD; Richard Bucala, MD, PhD; Johnny Huard, PhD; and Frank Isik, PhD
Description:Connective tissues such as muscle harbor a stem cell population that has a flexible role in repair. In addition, bone marrow contributes several populations of circulating cells with the properties of fibroblasts that are recruited to wound sites and make significant contributions to the healing process. This session will discuss the application of these discoveries to improved wound therapy.
