Regenerative medicine seeks to provide cellular therapies to repair tissues damaged through aging, disease or injury. Specific cell types for regenerative medicine are proposed to come from stem cells. Stem cells are becoming more prevalent in our everday lives and in the news. Politicians debate stem cell-related topics and contribute our tax dollars towards their research, yet most people know surprisingly little regarding stem cells. This course aims to provide a foundation in stem cell biology, applications in regenerative medicine, and highlights relevant social issues surrounding stem cells, allowing students to develop their own opinions. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit hours 0.000 OR 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 OR 3.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture, Lecture and Lab Biology Department Course Attributes: Biology Senior Status Courses Prerequisites: Prerequisite BIO 458 General Requirements: Course or Test: BIO 120 May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: BIO 140 May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: BIO 230 May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: BIO 240 May not be taken concurrently. |
