Registration and Abstract Submission for MSC 2011: Innovations in Cell-Based Regenerative Therapies is now open--reserve your spot today! Â MSC 2011, which will take place in Cleveland, OH, August 22-24, 2011, will offer a forum for the exchange and discussion of research, ideas, and cutting-edge breakthroughs in translational regenerative medicine. The breadth of topics from basic discovery through model validation, clinical product development, and therapeutic application, in addition to the links between academic and commercial labs, make this conference imperative for industrial researchers, academic investigators, IP and regulatory specialists, biotechnology development investors and post-doctoral and graduate students.Â

Stem Cell Types at the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine
Due to the impressive breadth of investigator
expertise, the scope of adult and pluripotent stem cell types
under study within the Center is comprised of the following
types:
ASC
Adipose Stem Cells
CSC
Cochlear Stem Cells
CTP
Connective Tissue Progenitor
Cells
ESC
Embryonic Stem Cells
HSC
Hematopoietic Stem Cells
HB1
Hemangioblast (AC133) derived from umbilical
cord blood
iPS
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
MAPC
Multi-potent Adult Stem Cells
MSC
Mesenchymal Stem Cells
NSC
Neural Stem Sells/oligodendrocyte progenitors
SKMB
Skeletal Myoblasts
UCB
Umbilical Cord Blood Derived Stem
Cells
This collection of stem cells is being investigated
for therapeutic uses in musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,
hematopoietic and neurological disorders.
This collection of stem cells also is being

Areas of Research at the Clinical Tissue Engineering Center (CTEC)
CTEC’s mission is to accelerate the rate at which new tissue engineering discoveries and inventions are translated into new treatments, products, and business opportunities in Ohio. CTEC investigators focus on translating new technologies in tissue engineering into methods, devices, diagnostic tools and therapeutics to treat osteoarthritis, fractures and bone deficiencies, osteoporosis, traumatic and degenerative tendon rupture and acute and chronic soft tissue wounds. In addition, the Center is establishing a collaborative network of academic and commercial partnerships for bringing these new technologies to market in the form of commercial products for treatment of these human diseases and conditions.
