Part of the UH Manoa Outreach College Sakamaki Extraordinary Lectures Series, the objective of this FREE lecture by Dr. Yusuke Marikawa, Assistant Professor at the Institute for Biogenesis Research at UHM John A. Burns School of Medicine, is to cover the basics of embryonic stem cells in layman's language, and future possibilities and unresolved issues regarding their medical applications.
We often hear from the news and magazines that embryonic stem cells promise medical treatments, which could ease or even cure Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, heart conditions, and spinal injury. But, is this going to happen in a few years? Or, is this just too good to be true? What about its safety? Are there any ethical problems? In light of recent rapid progress in stem cell research, it is critical to sort out what are the facts and what are the hypes. The objective of this seminar is to cover the basics of embryonic stem cells in layman's language, and future possibilities and unresolved issues regarding their medical applications.
