neural
Stem cell research holds not only the ability to examine the nervous system at a cellular and molecular level from early development through aging, but also holds the potential to model and treat diseases of the central nervous system. At the ISSCR 2026 Annual Meeting, top stem cell researchers will share their latest data on topics ranging from neural fate specification, stem cell models of disease, and clinical applications of stem cell therapies to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
