StemTherapy
The overall objectives are to demonstrate at least in one disease (diabetes), that stem cell-based cell replacement therapy is effective and safe, to provide therapeutic candidates for stroke and hematological diseases, and to build a strong base of knowledge about stem cells and disease mechanisms to pave the way for future efforts to devise new clinically effective treatments.
