Core Tip
Core Tip: Deterministic methods for modeling stem cell–host interactions are needed to ensure the safety and efficacy of stem cell-based therapies. This requires an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action of the transplanted cells for each and every host condition(s) and asks for the establishment of adequate methods to predict, follow-up and determine the safety profile of the respective therapies.
