Entrevista: Os estudos com células-tronco no Brasil

Mayana Zatz

Por Adenilde Bringel

As células-tronco são objeto de intensas pesquisas desde o fim do século 19. Embora houvesse uma expectativa de que poderiam se transformar em qualquer tecido humano, hoje as células-tronco adultas não têm mostrado resultados na grande maioria dos casos na regeneração de tecidos.  A professora doutora titular de Genética do Instituto de Biociências da Universidade de São Paulo, Mayana Zatz, que coordena o Centro de Pesquisas do Genoma Humano e Células-tronco e o Instituto Nacional de Células-tronco em Doenças Genéticas da USP, vai nos contar como estão os estudos atualmente e quais são os grandes desafios dos cientistas que se dedicam a essas pesquisas.
