Stem Cell Research
Science
Stem cells are important because they have special properties that separate them from other cells. Some of those properties include their regenerative nature, this gives them the ability to regenerate and change as to adapt to the environment of any specialised cell. Stem cells also have the bailey to repair themselves and multiply to repair and replace other specialised cells and damaged tissues in the body (James 2009). Stem cells have there ability to change so create any kind of specialised cell. Stem cells can be found in two places; in the developing embryo, these are embryonic stem cells, and in the majority of adult tissues (Bone marrow, fat etc.), these are adult stem cells.
The difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells is that adult stem cells have a more limited ability to adapt to different environments and change into other cells (Colin Edwards 2010). Embryonic Stem Cells are stem cells found in the inner …show more content…
(Joseph, 2010) New medicines can be developed and tested on stem cells to test their safety before testing them on a animal/human subject to see how the cells react. For example; a cancer cell could be created to test an anti-tumour medicine. If the state in which the stem cell is kept can be replicated, testing medicines could have the potential to provide very accurate results.
The current benefits of stem cell research are well documented and it is estimated that as the research develops and expands scientists will discover new treatments. Stem cells offer a glimpse of hope for those suffering form diseases or even finding a way to reverse the disease all together (Ian, 2014).
The current benefits of stem cell research are already well documented and it is estimated that continued research will help scientists discover new treatments. Stem cells offer hope for effective treatment for people suffering deadly diseases or
