The Symposium was organized under the auspices of the European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST), action B30 in which Dr Sanja Pekovic is a permanent member as a represenative of Serbia. Main topic of the Symposium was the potential therapeutical use of neural stem cells for neurodegenerative disorders. As summarized in the lecture by Dr. Zaal Kokaia, Professor of Neuroscience from the Stem Cell Centre, Lund, Sweden, the highest potential of successful stem cell therapy exists in spinal cord injury (SCI), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease), Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke.

This was an important event for HTDS, its research team and its management as the company continues to explore the options of commencing its own stem cell bank project together with the continuation of the due diligence stage with the potential merger candidates; engaged in the treatment of pre-term labor and induction of labor and other aspects of regenerative medicine.
Furthermore, very interesting was a lecture by Dr. Chris Airriess, "Towards an FDA approved trial for ES cell repair in spinal muscular atrophy". Their work is currently in the pre-clinical development stage of stem cell based therapies for ALS, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), spinal cord injury (SCI) and coronary heart disease. The end result they aim for is to perform the world's first human embryonic stem cell therapy. A special focus during the Symposium was put on induced pluripotent stem cells and their potential clinical applications, by Dr. Sjef Copray, Associate Professor, Department Neuroscience, UMCG, Groningen, the Netherlands who was also one of the organizers of the Symposium. The lectures presented during the Symposium summarized recent advances in stem cell research and their future application in regenerative medicine, as well as the hurdles that still need to be overtaken before safe clinical application.
