Cell therapies often rely on the delivery of cells, including stem/progenitor cells, gelled together using large quantities of polymer biomaterials to heal tissue or organ defects. This lecture will explore how polymer gels can accommodate the growth of cells, including stem/progenitor cells in the regeneration of tissues and organs. Jeremy Mao, Edward V.

Huge gains in tissue regeneration are happening now. Adult stem cells are used in these groundbreaking procedures and are the foundation for many more in trials today. National Geographic's EXPLORER expands on "the science of tissue engineering and shows how scientists are beginning to harness the body's natural powers to grow skin, muscle, body parts and vital organs, even hearts..."

Both the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation (GJCF) and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) share a similar vision for funding a team approach to disease research. When Victoria Jackson's daughter, Ali, was diagnosed with NMO - a rare incurable disease that can lead to blindness, paralysis and even death - Jackson created the GJCF and insisted that funded researchers share their data and collaborate towards finding a cure. Similarly, CIRM has established the Disease Teams Therapy Development Awards that require actively managed multidisciplinary teams to engage in milestone driven research for the development of stem cell-based therapies

Diabetes Research at the McEwen Centre It was at Toronto General Hospital in 1922 that insulin was first administered to a patient, offering a critical lifeline to the worlds diabetics. That proud tradition of discovery continues today at the McEwen Centre, where researchers are committed to finding ways to recreate the complex metabolic functions of the human pancreas and bring new hope to the millions who suffer from diabetes. Stem cell research McEwen Investigators are exploring the process by which stem cells can become specialized pancreatic islet cells.

The McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine was established at University Health Network in 2003 with a generous donation from Rob and Cheryl McEwen, which they matched in 2006 with a second donation. The McEwen Centre's vision is to be a world-renowned centre for stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. To achieve this ambitious goal, the team of McEwen Investigators is working together to accelerate the development of more effective treatments for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease and spinal cord injury.
