What is a stem cell? What makes it so special? Does it really matter whether we use adult or embryonic stem cells? What is SCNT? What is the difference between a blastocyst and an embryo? What promise does stem cell research hold for curing disease? Join three of HSCI’s leading researchers for an evening of discovery. Cowan, Daley, and Wagers will present the science in easily understood terms and provide the clinical perspective to help illustrate how this science is affecting the outlook for disease treatment. Ample time will be devoted to questions from the audience. For more information, directions, and to register, visit http://www.hsci.harvard.edu/node/411. Light refreshments will be served.
