STEM CELLS: FRIENDS OR FOES?

How stem cell research informs the origins of cancer
Researchers at UC Santa Cruz are harnessing the power of stem cells to understand the molecular underpinnings of diseases such as cancer, ALS, autoimmune diseases, and anemia. While stem cells’ ability to regenerate tissues holds promise for breakthroughs, stem cell therapies also carry a risk of causing cancer.
Join us for a discussion of how to balance the promise with the risk and a glimpse of what stem cell research offers the future.
