Stem Cell Biology Research offers enormous therapeutic potential
for a wide range of clinical disorders including Parkinson's disease,
diabetes, chronic heart disease, end-stage renal disease, liver
failure and cancer. Realizing the promise of using stem cells in
treating human disease will ultimately depend upon defining the
cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate cell proliferation
and differentiation. These fundamental principles are at the heart
of modern Cell Biology, Stem Cells and Development and highlight the
dynamic interdisciplinary work being undertaken by the faculty and
graduate students in the Cell Biology, Stem Cells and Development Graduate Program at the University of Colorado Health
Sciences Center.
