Neural Stem Cell Research and the Path Toward Repairing Nerve Damage

Host: Bruce Bloom, DDS, JD
Guest: John A. Kessler, MD

John A. Kessler MD, Davee Professor of Stem Cell Biology and Chairman of the Davee Department of Neurology at Northwestern University Medical School, is one of the world’s leaders in stem cell research to repair central and peripheral nerve damage. He joins us to talk about the biology of embryonic stem cells and neural stem cells, including the mechanisms regulating neuronal and glial differentiation.
