This session will focus on using stem cells to study disease processes, a powerful tool for translating research from bench to bedside. We will highlight stem cell-derived models that provide insight into injury responses, regeneration, and tissue repair, enhancing our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind these processes and helping in the development of potential treatment options.
