Thesis statement:
Stem cell therapy has been at the forefront of medical research for many years to benefit human life: they help in organ regeneration when some organs are damaged or lost during accidents, these help in curing most of the genetical and metabolic diseases and they play a vital role in clinical trial phases for new drug discovery.
Introduction:
As long as humans exist, the need for extensive technology advancements in medical field will be abundant to improve human health conditions and their life expectancy rises. Stem cell therapy, a new field, helps to lengthen and provide promising hope for human life. Stem cells are capable to arise into hundreds of different cells in the body, it is important to know the importance …show more content…
In a living humans, adult stem cells are available to divide and give rise to mature cell when needed which have same characteristic shapes and functions. The following are examples of differentiation pathways of adult stem cells that have been demonstrated in vitro or in vivo.
• Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all the types of blood cells: red blood cells, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and macrophages.
• Neural stem cells in the brain give rise to its three major cell types: nerve cells (neurons) and two categories of non-neuronal cells—astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. c. Role of embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cells in body growth:
Embryonic stem cells, as their name suggests, are derived from embryos. Most embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro and in vivo conditions. Some clinic stem cells are not derived from fertilized eggs in a woman's body.
Stem cell research shows promise to cure for many diseases:
a. Insulin discovery for diabetes patients increase victim’s life span but can’t cure the diseases completely.
b. Stem cell helps in regenerating the malfunctioned tissue in pancreas.
c. Bone marrow transplantation was most successful in stem cell …show more content…
Pluripotent stem cells created via iPS cell or SCNT( Stem Cell Nano Technology) are genetically identical to the person who donated the cell to create the lines. If that person has Parkinson’s disease, for example, researchers can grow those cells in a dish and transform them into the type of neurons that go bad in Parkinson’s disease. Stem cell researchers can then study the cells to understand what goes wrong when they begin forming the disease in the dish. These studies would then lead to better ways of detecting the disease at an early stage—or finding ways to slow, halt or reverse the condition.
Stem cell therapy was successful in treating many cancer patients who were victims for leukaemia and lymphoma and brain cancer: d. Stem cell therapy plays a role in blood and tissue reformation in patients.
e. It helps in treating all cardio vascular diseases in heart patients, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Importance of stem cell therapy in clinical trials for discovering new drugs:
Stem cells are expected to dramatically improve the ability of drug companies to screen new drugs for side effects much earlier in the development process— significantly lowering costs and shortening the time it takes to develop a new
