Potential and actual use of stem cells in regenerative medicine

Summary/Abstract: In Recently, a great interest in stem cells issues has risen both among the scientific community and the society. Meeting these requirements, organizations promoting knowledge about stem cells have been founded. Among them EuroStemCell – a partnership of stem cell research centres and institutions from many European countries has been established. Additionally, different types of actions devoted to stem cells issues have been initiated with UniStem Day being the great example of them. The UniStem Day is organized every year simultaneously at many European universities. The main aim of this event is to disseminate knowledge about stem cell research among high school students. However, many myths about stem cells still exist in public opinion. This article – being the follow-up of the publications focused on stem cells and published in Biological and Environmental Education in 2013 – presents the current information about stem cells with special emphasis on their potential and actual use in regenerative medicine.
