To accelerate the advancement of stem cell
biology from bench to bedside for treatment of cardiovascular
disease, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host
the scientific symposium Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine
at the NIH Natcher Conference Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Sessions will cover lessons learned from hematopoiesis, specification
and use of embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells, including
those derived from bone marrow (hematopoietic, endothelial
progenitor cells, and mesenchymal stem cells) and adult cardiac
stem cells that naturally reside in the heart; growth factors
to stimulate formation of new blood vessels (vascular regeneration)
and to repair or regenerate cardiac tissue (cardiac regeneration);
and technologies for monitoring cell activity.
