Adult stem cell

- Student Doctor Network"). After completing a three-year residency, an Allergist must undertake a fellowship which takes a total of 24 months of an educational program training in adults and children. A fellowship is a period of medical training. Their application fellowships are processed through ERAS and training programs participating in the NRMP. ERAS and NRMP are the specific board certified testing requirements for an allergist…

The Role of the Blood-Brain Barrier with Medication The blood vessels within the brain are lined with special endothelial cells that are tightly knit together and form the blood-brain barrier. The impermeable junctions prevent molecules passing through the blood from escaping outside of the vessel walls and into the brain. Molecules must be extremely small in size and have the ability to dissolve in fat in order to leak through the vessel walls. The majority of chemical substances do not…

physiology and biochemistry (82). It will allow us to test and compare the ability to repopulate livers with different cell sources which have had limited success in the mouse (3). Primary human hepatocytes have been shown to efficiently repopulate recipient livers (32), however with limited access to large quantities, researchers must examine whether other types of hepatic stem cells can act as potential donors as well. Having an efficient model that can be used to perform repopulation…

Lawrence Livermore researchers recently published a study about how shock waves will cause damage the membrane proteins for a patient suffering from brain injury. These shock wave TBIs have become common with improvised explosive devices that we have seen used in Iraq and Afghanistan. Experts estimate that around 230,000 military veterans have suffered from TBI between 2001 to 2014. The problem is that we do not deeply understand how this takes place. Researchers are not sure how exposure to…

Introduction: The paper discusses in detail potentially new drugs discovery for prostate cancer disease by exploiting literature-derived knowledge and semantics. Using knowledge discovery methodologies is, recently, getting popular for all types of drastically growing data sources such as medical data. Although the authors argue that their methodology is groundbreaking and it sounds reasonably effective, the methodology could have been more practical and automated by reducing a manual…

discuss the medical and business sides of creating a new treatment called Spinraza. Spinraza is a drug that is used to treat Spinal Muscular Atrophy(SMA) which is a rare genetic linked condition that causes a loss of nerve cells inside of the spinal cord. This loss of nerve cells causes a loss of motor function and can often be lethal, especially when the age of onset is earlier. Spinraza has been approved for sale very recently and was approved by the Federal Drug Administration(FDA) very…

solution, called stem cells, may reverse the damage that your brain has sustained. Deadly diseases kill people every day and deciding on a treatment, or possibly a cure, can emerge with a solution like stem cell research. Stem cell research could be a way to reverse some of the most incurable, fatal diseases, but there are a few obstacles scientists are facing. Although, stem cell research has…

Embryonic Stem Cell is Pertinent to Finding Cures Diseases, sicknesses, burns, and infections: how can this world ever be cured? It was not until recently in 1998 when a promising cure was discovered, the embryonic stem cell (ESC). According to Christine Watkins in one of her social issues books titled Human Embryo Experimentation, ESC was discovered by both James Thomson at the University of Wisconsin and John Gearhart at the University of Pennsylvania (10). Thomson, a director of regenerative…

controversy over embryonic stem cell research has let to arguments over the funding of such research. Opponents to the research claim embryos are human lives and harvesting stem cells from them destroys the embryo thus kills a human life (SAUNDERS). Proponents argue the tremendous advantages to human health using embryonic stem cells that cannot be realized elsewhere (HUTTO). Stem cells were discovered in 1981 by Dr. James Till and Dr. Ernest McCulloch. These first stem cells were found in mice…

not producing healthy blood cells. She is on the brink of death and doesn’t have much time left. Her body is creating excess white blood cells and limited healthy cell causing sever bruising, fever and high risk of infection. What can be done to save her? One of the newest and most effective way to prolong the life a leukemia patient is too extract adult stem cells from bone marrow to generate new blood cells coded to her DNA (Katz and Walker 1). Without new blood cells she would die. The…
