While most people have heard about bone marrow, there is another treatment option that has gained momentum. Stem cell therapy involves harvesting and modifying stem cells from fat and is commonly used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Stem cell therapy can also be used in the treatment of…

Stem Cells One of the biggest ethical and scientific debates in the scientific communities involves Stem Cell research. Stem cells are cells with the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body. They can serve as a type of internal repair system for the body. They are distinguished from other cells because they are unspecialized and are capable of renewing themselves through cell division. Also, under physiologic or experimental conditions they can be induced to become tissue…

study procedures in medical fields and stem cells has always been to find cure for the incurable and to prolong the lives that would be cut short because of these diseases. There have been many different experiments that scientists have performed that seem promising but ended up failing in some way, but right now in this century the biggest medical advancement opportunity is in stem cells. With the help of all the scientists studying stem cells, Embryonic Stem Cells (eSC) can be a great way for…

Stem cell research is a highly debated issue in today's society. The controversy around stem cell research originates from the fact that in order to do research on stem cells, one needs to have an embryo, which is the first stage of a child’s formation. Stem cells were first isolated in 1998. Stem cells are cells that can become any type of body tissue. For example, if someone has a defective heart and they are missing a vital part of the heart, stem cells could regenerate that piece which they…

Stem Cell Research Stem cells have been a factor in the scientific world since the 1800 when scientists figured out all living organisms are made up of cells; and some cells have the potential to create other cells, yet many people are still misinformed on the uses and great potential that stem cells posses. Most people who are against stem cells are not in favor of them because of the old extraction processes used but gladly science has found a new, more humane way to do so. Stem Cells can be…

Stem cells are appearing on the news more and more. Although, in reality, do many people really know what a stem cell is, or how stem cells were discovered? According to the National Institute of Health, stem cells are “cells with the ability to divide for indefinite periods in culture and to give rise to specialized cells” (“Stem Cell Basics”). In the beginning, different cells were found to have multipotent and pluripotent capabilities. It wasn’t until Canadian scientists, Ernest McCulloch…

Stem cell research has created controversy around the world. A stem cell is a cell that has not yet been specialized and can grow into any type of cell (Science dictionary). There are two main types of stem cells, embryonic which comes from human embryos and non-embryonic which is adult stem cells. This relates to the novel Unwind because in the novel they take children’s body parts and give other people the parts. The children do not have a choice to be unwound, it is up to the parents,…

issue. Stem cells are another example of a controversial treatment that is taking the medical field by storm. Although it is very controversial, it’s results are truly amazing and beneficial to anyone who is willing to give it a try. Stem cells have the potential to divide into special cells through a process called “mitosis”. Mitosis is part of the cell cycle; it is a process where the cell nucleus is separated into two identical sets of chromosomes. Mitosis is an important…

Stem cell research: Trends and perspectives on the Evolving International Landscape was written by Dr. Jan Barfoot, Emma Kemp, Kate Doherty, Clare Blackburn, Dr. Shintaro Sengoku, Alexander Van Servellen, Dr. Anand Gavai, and Dr. Anders Karlsonn. The authors begin this publication by stating stem cell research has the potential to change the way we discover and treat diseases. In chapter one (10- 19) the authors introduce stem cells and the important research surrounding the cause. The authors…
