Recent advances in stem cell research suggest this as a promising therapy for various medical disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. This 2-day symposium highlighted the state-of-the-art for basic and translational research on endogenous and exogenous stem cells. An international faculty of research leaders presented their most current data on these topics in the context of different neurodegenerative diseases, including but not limited to multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The program agenda allowed for networking and scientific discussion among junior and senior faculty. The BioSymposia Junior Investigator Awards were given to the lead authors of the best papers in the poster session adjudicated by an expert panel.
