The Stem Cell Podcast Hosts
Dr. Fasano and Dr. Ganat

On this episode we review the Next Gen Stem Cell Conference from earlier in the month.  During the conference we interviewed 5 stem cell scientists live and put them all together for this show.  In addition to these great guests, we review the literature as always. Topics include the biggest sperm ever, C-kit+ stem cells don’t make heart, heart on a chip technology, a new element on the periodic table, and iPSCs from schizophrenia patients.  After that, we end with a rant about bathroom air fresheners!
