Description: Stem cells are an important source for healthy tissue regeneration. This course will examine the primary literature detailing the identity and function of both pluripotent and tissue specific stem cells. The emphasis will focus on molecular mechanisms of signal transduction processes and their nuclear regulatory factor targets that dictate stem cell identity. Students will also gain skill sets necessary to critically read, evaluate and present scientific data from the biomedical literature.
