Dr. Zahraa Kamel  gave a lecture entitled Stem Cell during the Scientific Cultural held in the college of Applied Biotechnology/Al-Nahrin University. The lecture included the definition of stem cells and what are they important. One of the goals of stem cell research is to harvest some of these universal cells, grow them in laboratories, and then use them to undo the damage by such things as heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and many other diseases associated with aging.

The lecture was aimed to understand what are stem cells and what differentiate those cells from other cells in addition to know the types of stem cells then to understand their application in medical therapy in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering by examples of how stem cells could be the hope to heal many diseases like Alzheimer, stroke, diabetes ..etc.
