[HT-10] Hot Topics 10 Strategy toward regenerative medicine in neurological disorders using stem cells - the current situation and issues

Sat. May 22, 2021 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM Room 05 (ICC Kyoto 2F Room B-1)

Chair：Mochizuki Hideki(Department of Neurology, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine),Taguchi Akihiko(Institute of Biomedical Research and Innovation at Kobe. Department of Regenerative Medicine Research)

Recently, stem cell therapies towards neurological disorders have shown striking progress, and some of them are now face human clinical trials after finishing non-clinical study using animal models. In this symposium, four speakers will be invited to present the recent advancement in developing regenerative therapeutics for brain ischemia, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson’s disease. The current situation and issues in regenerative medicine for neurological disorders will be discussed.
