The ISSCR Launches New Continuing Education Course on Stem Cell Therapies for Parkinson’s Disease
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced the launch of Stem Cell Medicine: Parkinson’s Disease, a new continuing education course designed to equip clinicians with an evidence-based understanding of emerging stem cell therapies for Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Building on the success of the Society’s inaugural course, Stem Cell Medicine: From Scientific Research to Patient Care, this disease-focused program provides physicians and other healthcare professionals with deeper insight into how advances in stem cell science are moving toward clinical application in one of the most intensively studied neurological disorders.
Human Biology, Better Medicines: Advancing iPSC-Based Models for Discovery and Development
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has transformed biomedicine far beyond its original promise for regenerative medicine. By preserving a patient’s genetic background while enabling the generation of disease-relevant cell types—and increasingly sophisticated tissue architectures such as organoids and other advanced in vitro systems—we can now recreate key aspects of human pathology in the laboratory. These platforms are becoming a powerful engine not only for mechanistic disease research, but also for drug discovery and development.
Stem Cell Reports Seeks Associate Editor to Support Journal’s Growing Global Impact
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is seeking applications for an Associate Editor for its official journal, Stem Cell Reports, an online, open-access journal communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.
