Stem Cell Fellowship Module III: In-Office Applications
Thu Sep 22, 7:30 AM - Sat Sep 24, 5:00 PM

This module will review disease background, statistics, etiology, current standard of care, and controversies surrounding cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions including: myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, asthma, COPD, and interstitial lung disease. And despite advances, restoring function to these damaged systems remains a formidable challenge. This module aims to educate on the recent regenerative research that suggests the adult, embryonic, cardiopoietic, and vascular stem cells may be able to replace damaged heart muscle cells and/or establish new blood vessels to supply them. This module's curriculum will analyze the various cell therapies to gain knowledge on the treatment strategies including patient selection, diagnosis, risks, and benefits.

Objectives:

- Discuss the mechanism of action, structure, and function of cardiopoietic stem cells
- Analyze the various cell therapies available for cardiovascular regeneration, including induced pluripotent, umbilical, mesenchymal stem cells, and biomaterials
- Possess a working knowledge of clinical studies published outlining the treatment of cardiovascular conditions
- Participate in interactive case study sessions to successfully provide treatment strategies for cardiovascular conditions, including patient selection, diagnosis, risks, and benefits
- Review the disease background, statistics, etiology, current standard of care, and issues/controversies surrounding current treatments
- Discuss the mechanism of action, structure, and function of vascular stem cells
- Analyze the various cell therapies available for vascular regeneration, including induced pluripotent, umbilical, mesenchymal stem cells, and biomaterials
- Possess a working knowledge of clinical studies published outlining the treatment of vascular conditions
- Participate in interactive case study sessions to provide treatment strategies for vascular conditions
