DESCRIPTION:The concept of cell therapy refers to placing new and healthy 
 cells into the human body to modulate function of the patient’s cells to
  halt and reverse disease\, restore damaged organs and\, ultimately\, cure
  many life-threating conditions (e.g. diabetis\, retinal disease\, stroke\
 , spinal cord injury\, liver disease\, parkinson’s disease). In this tal
 k I will explain the potential of cell therapy to regenerate tissues and t
 reat disease\, the source of cells that can be used\, and I will give exam
 ples of the basic and preclinical research behind the cell therapies I wor
 ked on for retinal and liver disesase. Finally\, I will discuss the challe
 nges of the technology that are left for the future.
