CRG Scientific Coffee: "What are stem cells?"

Are stem cells really a tool to cure human diseases? Are they found only in embryos or umbilical cord?

If adults have stem cells in their bodies, does it make sense to keep the umbilical cord stem cells at birth? What do scientists know exactly about stem cells nowadays? And what they don't know?

Come listen and ask whatever you want on this subjet to a panel of experts in a very different and innovative place, a bar run by a scientist doing research ...  on stem cells!
