title: A summary on stem cell research: a report on the 8th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research.
abstract: The 8th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) placed a particular emphasis on topics related to the engineering of induced pluripotent stem cells through reprogramming of mammalian somatic cells, embryonic and adult stem cells of different species, tissue regeneration, stem cell transplantation and cancer stem cells. This report provides an overview on the standpoint of stem cell research programs, which is based on the proceedings of the meeting.
