As dogmas in stem cell research are losing their impact and recent
findings regarding the use and cultivation of stem cells and tissue
transplantation have opened up new therapeutic avenues, this Ernst
Schering Research Foundation Workshop was initiated to highlight
current and future approaches in this field. The only stem cells
that have been used clinically for a long time is the hematopoietic
stem cell as a source for bone marrow transplantation. Recent
findings now indicate that hematopoietic stem cells, under certain
conditions, are able to differentiate into endothelial, neural or
muscle cells, providing exciting new therapeutic possibilities.
They represent a future source for tissue engineering replacing
defective cells or tissues and allowing diseased organs to regain
their functions. Both reconstitution techniques are paving the way
for the development of new therapeutic strategies, giving hope of
being able to cure and not only treat patients.
