Stem cell-based therapies hold great promise for treating many human diseases. For such treatments to be successful, scientists need to use cells with the correct differentiation potential and give them proper instructions to differentiate into the desired cell type. Understanding the various steps of stem cell differentiation is challenging, in part due to the low abundance and cellular heterogeneity among stem cells.
In this virtual symposium brought to you by The Scientist, an expert panel will examine how single-cell resolution has affected stem cell research, especially with regard to understanding and guiding stem cell differentiation.
