301902 VO Model systems and concepts in stem cell biology and regeneration IV (2018S)

This lecture series introduces into classical and modern concepts of stem cell biology, and will cover a spectrum of model systems ranging from basal animals to the development of organoid systems. The lecture series targets Masters students and PhD students interested in stem cell biology and regeneration.
