A tale of stem cells, regenerative pharmacology and bone marrow biology from Professor Sara Rankin.
Stem cells are often talked about in the context of stem cell therapies, which involve extracting and culturing the cells for injection back into the body to repair damaged tissues such as cartilage and bone. Making this approach widely available to patients is fraught with technical, regulatory and financial challenges, so finding alternative ways of harnessing the regenerative capacities of stem cells could be an attractive prospect.
In this her Inaugural Lecture, Professor Rankin will present her work in discovering combinations of drugs that activate the stem cells in bone marrow without having to take them out of the body -- a new field of research known as regenerative pharmacology.
